Nigerien coup leaders have told the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) that they cannot receive a proposed mission to Niamey for security reasons, according to an official letter, APA reports citing CGTN.
"The current context of public anger and revolt following the sanctions imposed by ECOWAS does not permit the welcoming of this delegation in the required conditions of serenity and security," the foreign ministry said in a letter to the ECOWAS representation in Niamey.
