The military takeover in Niger, which was led by soldiers belonging to the presidential guard, is the latest in successive coup d’état in Africa, with West Africa counting for the majority of the unconstitutional changes of government. In 2021, there were six coup attempts in Africa, four of them successful. Dr Vladimir Antwi-Danso, the Dean of Academic Affairs, Ghana Armed Forces Command and Staff College (GAFCSC), has cautioned that the security situation in Niger could escalate if the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) apply force in the quest to restore constitutional rule. Dr Antwi-Danso said ECOWAS must appreciate the realties in the sub-region and work towards peace and democracy in the region. Do you think that ECOWAS will succeed in returning civil rule in Niger ?
