West African Bloc Names Nigeria's Tinubu as New Head

Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Nigeria's new president, has been chosen by West African heads of state to lead the regional bloc, replacing Guinea-Bissau's leader. Tinubu emphasized the importance of democracy and stated that West Africa will not tolerate repeated coups.
The president of the ECOWAS commission urged ruling juntas in Mali, Guinea, and Burkina Faso to respect agreed-upon deadlines for transitioning to civilian rule. Failure to meet these deadlines may result in the imposition of major sanctions.
