"The EU fully supports the efforts made by ECOWAS and stands ready to support them, including through the establishment of a new regime of individual sanctions," the statement read in French. Leaders of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) agreed at a summit on Thursday to deploy a military force to Niger after President Bazoum’s elite guard ousted him and appointed a transitional government. The EU reiterated its call for Niger to return to "constitutional order" and praised the West African bloc’s efforts to find a diplomatic solution, while taking note of its decision to activate a standby military force.
