West African heads meet to keep junta-led nations in bloc and review sanctions against Niger coup

ECOWAS lifted travel and economic sanctions on Niger following last year's coup, urging junta-led nations to reconsider exiting the regional bloc.
The lifting of sanctions on Niger aims to ease suffering while targeted individual and political sanctions remain in force, according to ECOWAS President Omar Alieu Touray.
The region faces threats of fragmentation with the new alliance of Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger, accentuating the region's struggle against coups and discontent towards elected governments.
