Meeting between Niger coup leader and Nigerian leader envoy 'offers hope' for diplomatic path

Leaders of the West African bloc ECOWAS opposed to the coup d'état in Niger are meeting for an emergency summit in Abuja on Thursday, after their ultimatum to the soldiers who have seized power was ignored. However, it is expected that the leaders will continue to advocate for a diplomatic path, says FRANCE 24's Chinwe Ossundu, as the "ripple effect" caused by any military intervention by ECOWAS in Niger "would be unaccountable and it cannot be afforded at this particular time". The meeting between Nigerian envoy Lamido Muhammad Sanusi and Niger coup leader General Tiani is also "offering hope for a (diplomatic path)" ahead of the ECOWAS summit on Thursday.
