Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger agree to grace period in ECOWAS withdrawal

Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger, which recently announced their withdrawal from the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), have agreed to a one-year grace period before their exit becomes effective. This decision was made following a meeting in Ouagadougou, where the foreign ministers of these countries discussed the implications of their departure from the regional bloc. The grace period aims to facilitate a smooth transition and address any logistical or administrative issues that might arise from their withdrawal. This move comes after the three nations expressed dissatisfaction with ECOWAS, particularly over its response to military coups in their countries and the perceived lack of support against terrorism. The agreement on the grace period was confirmed by the foreign ministers, indicating a step towards a more structured exit from the organization.
