The West African regional bloc ECOWAS is to lift some sanctions on Niger, including border closures and a suspension of financial transactions. It’s leaders say the decision is based on humanitarian considerations. Leaders of ECOWAS are meeting after three members announced they were leaving the west African regional organisation.

Psa 110:6
He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries.
Rev 13:3
And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
Isa 9:15
The ancient and honourable, he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail.

Those sellout leaders listened to their western masters and embarrassed themselves horribly. Now look at them. Useless!
Righteousness will always win at the end of the day.

And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?
Act 2:8
And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?
Africa doesn’t need western shallow democracy and fake Human rights. Tinubu and Ouattara can go ask France to come run their countries for them the three Sahel states don’t need ecowas and its masters France.
Useless ECOWAS

And straightway his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain.

The sanctions were a joke to begin with. The people of Nigeria did not support it. It’s just stupid nonesense by our stupid leaders.
Jer 13:27
I have seen ….. wilt thou not be made clean? when shall it once be?
Shame on ECOWAS 😅😅😅
Niger please don’t look back keep moving forward on your agenda. Don’t be fooled by this sudden change.
Shame on ECOWAS. What request of ECOWAS has Mali met that lefted her Sanction? 😮😂
Ecowas is not in position to tell us what to do from a proud Malian.
It’s very funny how ECOWAS think they’re in the position to demand something from this country’s after what they did this country’s will do without ECOWAS…
@@gagnydiawara9498it’s just ridiculous after what they did 😊😊😊
Hi. What does Mail think of foreign interest and investment? Such as the U.S. surely China Russia, U.S. want your resources but all 3 have the same agendas and mindset the further up the hierarchy in each of those 3 countries you go. What sort of things come to mind when I bring up that vs. let’s say anti-colonialism. I mean pan-Africanism is anti colonialism but it is blown out of proportion with greed, sin, and corruption. and further used against a United African Nation. Please let me know. Thanks @@gagnydiawara9498
@@gagnydiawara9498make no Mistake, everyone in the African continent supports Burkina Faso, Mail and Niger.
None of these slaves of white people have the support of Africans.
The military juntas in the Sahel must not waste the times of their people and Africa as was done in the past. Military regimes never solved any of Africa’s problems ;they
worsen them in the long run, example is their foolish threats to leave ECOWAS. Military regimes have destabilized Africa for far too long and
retarded her unity and development. AU, ECOWAS must mean business to finally stop military coups and regimes if they really want to unite and see Africa move forward.
You do know that it were military leaders who were the founding members of your ecowas? And as for the au, what exactly has it done for Afrika? Look at Congo, Sudan, Nigeria, Senegal, Gabon, Cameroon, etc. Nigeriens had “democratic leader, yet Niger is one of the poorest countries in the world, as well as Burkina Faso. Your argument isnt sound or based on the real issues that are plaguing Afrikan countries. Nigeria has a democratically elected president, yet there is much violence in Nigeria along with high cost of living, and poverty. In Gabon, democratically elected Ali Bongo was looting the country along with his wife and children. Where is the au, democracy, etc. and how have they helped?
What the democratic ruler do Africa pls tell us if jutas will worsening the
Go sleep
@@osumanissah7715he is a FRENCH LOOTER
ECOWAS IS A USELESS ENTITY FULL OF BUNCH OF PUPPETS AND POLITICAL CROOKS JUST TELL US WHAT HAVE THE SO-CALLED DEMOCRAZY DONE FOR AFRICA ❓❓
Yea! Let’s hope stability and security for people are maintained and western backed usurpers excluded.
Is this a joke? ECOWAS has no right to make demand on a Sovereign State that has also publicly broken off from the common market. Tinubu has got to be joking as the present actions of ECOWAS shows him as not knowing his place. Tinubu and his gang of fools seem not to know their bounds in West Africa.
God help them.
Toothless dragon
Niger, go alone, you don’t need this ecofarse
The Lion of the Sahel…said no..l expect no change….let eco…was fall on its own sword
The only avenue for a return…is for a major reinventing of that body…and that begins with the ouster of boo boo Tinubu because he was the chief arthichet of this miscalculation…cannot move forward…with that ignomy at the controls
I hope none of those junta ever trusted ECOWAS organizations
ECOWAS the World’s most useless Organisation led by Corrupt Old Puppets of Former COLONIAL masters against its Citizens
Condom ECOWAS
After it failed, I worked 😂😂😂😂 now Niger is free from France
Only because they want Niger to allow that pipeline to their European masters.😂😂
Useless ECOWAS + TINUBU 😅
A reset is needed as ECOWAS is already compromised.these countries should not go back to ECOWAS.a new path free from the west is the way to go.

At least useless doesn’t attack others or its own people
@@The-Heart-Will-Testifytell them
We don’t need them to lift any ban let the people of niger be them. Only them know what they want
Ecowas is dead.
About time. What madness African can do to others who just want freedom.
ECOWAS are puppets
Ecowas is weak….. sahel will prevail
Ecowas job is not to keep any country in line. Their job is to create policies that would help the region to trade and grow economically. Nobody needs a big daddy telling them what is best for their population. Ecowas needs to stay out of local politics. Tinabu can’t have answers for Niger when he has non for Nigeria. Pure nonsense!
This news is very ridiculous! What choice do (the puppies of the colonizers) ECOWAS have. I doubt if Niger even needed them anymore. Bunch of mentally enslaved IDIOTS!
What is wrong with ECOWAS talking like they’re in no position to demand this country’s to do nothing after what they did 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
STOP à la discrimination contre les homosexuels en Afrique STOP ✋ homophobie…..
😂😂😂😂😂..our numbers won’t plummet for ideologies
ECOWAS leaders must put the interest of the African people above all interest.
Les gays africains arabes, sahéliens, maghrébins, berbères les homosexuels peuvent venir en Pologne, Słovaquie, Hongrie, Lituanie, Lettonie,Roumanie, Bułgarie, Croatie bénéficieront d’une protection, d’un refuge dans les pays Intermarium, nous les invitons dans ces pays, l’homosexualité est légale, il y a protection contre le mal et la haine,.
Arab, Sahelian, North African, Berber African gays can come to Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Lithuania, Latvia, Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia will benefit from protection, from a refuge in the Intermarium countries, we invite them to these country, homosexuality is legal, there is protection against evil and hatred
STOP discrimination against homosexuals in Africa STOP ✋ homophobia
Ecowas was not working in the behalf of Africa so the military took the necessary steps wich is to distance themselves from Ecowas and do what’s best for the African people. Take control of their resources and no allow these puppet leaders to continue giving away Africa’s wealth. Its a new day time to wake up.
Why don’t they ask gaza to help them? Losers, lol…
🦧🦧🦧
Africa is being led by buffoons and it’s citizens are fast asleep.
😢AES = HOPE 😢 PAN-AFRICANISM PLEASE 😢😤✊🏿❤
😂😂😂😂
Took you long enough, French lovin scumbags.
ECOWAS is done, AES will never come back. Find another tune.
Just leave the countries alone, they don’t need ECOWAS. They have gone through the worse and found their own way of self determination. ECOWAS is only jealous because the trio are doing well without them.
ECOWAS should be applauding the three countries for breaking free from neo- colonisation instead of trying to return them back to the colonial masters.
This is so hilarious how can tyrants and thugs sanction another group of tyrants and thugs? 😂😂
ECOWAS is a useless organisation led by a bunch of corrupt puppets who bribed and cheated their ways to leadership.
Ecowas block never worked , look western pupet NGO should except their defeat
The AES should never agree to ECOWAS demanded. They should stick together and print their own money.
Correct “
Shame on you ECOWAS, where do you get all this power to put sanctions on other countries?
From the West
Sanctions faild 😢😢😢😢😢🎉🎉🎉🎉
THERE WILL BE NO MORE THREATS TO THE GOOD PEOPLE OF NIGER AND WE WILL ADVISE THEM NOT TO REJOIN THE ECOWAS REGARDLESS OF WHATEVER SANCTIONS LIFTED,ITS A SHAME HOW THESE THREE COUNTRIES WERE TREATED BY THE ECOWAS AND ITS LEADERSHIP WHEN THEY WERE FIGHTING FOR THEIR ECONOMIC FREEDOM FROM THE FRENCH IMPERIALIST AND WHAT WE SHOULD REMEMBER IS THAT NIGER MALI AND BURKINA FASO ARE SOVEREIGN NATIONS AND THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO DECIDE THEIR OWN DESTINY SO FOR THE ECOWAS BLOCK ATTACKING THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE WAS WRONG AND UNACCEPTABLE AND TO ME ECOWAS SHOULD LEAVE THEM ALONE.
This is a step in the rigth direction… Though possibly too late.
However, Mouhamed Bazoum is a traitor and should be tried by a Nigerien court for being a French puppet and neglecting the interests of his people for the sake od pleasing his European masters.
Our beloved continent will stand strong in togetherness and unity ,strangers will never Divide us
Too late😂😂😂😂
ECOWAS is a joke and Tinubu is actively trying to destroy our country. His handlers in America and France can see that their little stunt is accelerating the decline of their influence similar to how the Ukraine and Israel wars are accelerating the decline of American hegemony. I personally thank Tinubu for making a mess of this, it means ECOWAS and France/US will go away
Yeah they have to lift the sanctions bcoz theyre not working. They backfired on ECOWAS. 😂😂😂
A once respected organization like ECOWAS has turned to a shameful entity.
Criminal and Useless ECOWAS.
Shame on you EcoWest’ 😢
Too late Ecowas!!!!!!! sanctions became a BLESSINGS to Niger Burkina and Mali, We don’t need a corrupted organization, Mariage is not by Force!!!! The divorce is consumed between Ecowas and Niger.. God bless and empowers these countries that just want their freedom.
Because some parts of Nigeria are supering
ALL BECAUSE OF A PIPELINE 😂😂😂😂
AU and ECOWAS are owned by Africans but controlled by foreigners.
Zero achievements of AU and ECOWAS for more than ten years .
You can’t eat your cake and have it back ECOWAS and AU are failed entities that don’t represent the aspirations of the people of Africa.
Niger , Mali and Burkina Faso should never trust ECOWAS for one second because its not promoting PAN – AFRICANISM.
Was no reason to sanctions your brothers and sisters when we all know the true enemy. That is why I always say ecowas should be rebranded . Work for the enemy not for us
The whole block is corrupt and full of dictators
Too late to apologize😅
AES should processed with creating their own currency
Nigeria is the problem of African not to unite
ecowas is political of terrasim, and army’s of the colonizer, self dishonor organization who dishonor they own ancestors to worship colonizer ancestors, and ,ecowas are naturally deaf to reality by nature, and ecowas need reeducated themselves because ecowas education,and political system is forbidden knowledge for african , and legacy of the colonialism, shared by those,who capable betray Africa, to serve their colonizer Anunaki, exchange for power, self dishonor African still share that human betrayed legacy with their reptilian colonizer children and pretended to be democratically elected leaders with colonizer Consciousness, instead they are purchase selected leaders, who lead to betrayed, because ecowas education and political ideology come from those who corrupted the Earth and shed blood , genocide against humanity itself and destroyed human unification with human civilization through colonialism, torture, rape, and lie to enslave other, the most brutal treatment in the history of mankind, they called our people three-fifth of the human beings, is that is the act of a human being, or is that is the act of the devil?that is because ecowas sold they soul to AntiChrist doesn’t mean all african do so, because reality by nature we know the lions never learn the jungle from Hunter’s, then why politicians keep say democratic principle but they know this AntiChrist democratic principle is forbidden knowledge for african,and this Babylonian colonizer democratic ,destroy all the principal and wisdom that was created by ancient African,but the question for to ecowas,then who teach they colonizer masters about democracy,rules, laws with human rights?for them to teach, and offer education and political system, to the same Africans who they genocide against? is Europe a Founding Father for each country in ecowas? if not then why do politicians honor European ancestors and dishonor African ancestors by accepting European education and political system, and rejecting African education and political system? Politicians are the worshipers of the AntiChrist who are on a mission to continue destroying Africans, and exchange with their antichrist for wealth, and fantasy, but I will continue to pray to the highest to guide sun and moon to bring judgment upon ecowas with colonizer master by nature without any mercy,
Good ECOWAS we win against the West God willing
Ecowas is the enemy of development of west Africa. The leaders are selfish and greedy and for that matter failed to address basic needs of the citizens😢..
Most useless organization in the world
They are now lifting the sanctions cos America and france has failed to provide our greedy leaders money and food…..
ECOWAS is a joke
This ECOWAS is bullshit. Don’t get back don’t even allow that idea. You found freedom now exercise it and forge your own future economic path, make your own mistakes on the way that’s how to learn and grow as a nation. Not just for you, but for your future generation. Better die on your feet than live in chains and slavery. This so-called France and some Western countries keep on making these nations poor and poor. The question is France’s reserve banks are they in Any of the African states?. It’s time to wake up and get rid of foreign imperialism. This parasite so called Ecowas and its masters are the source of the problems. Niger is one of the most poorest countries in Africa actually top 10 poorest. They got sanctions from fake brother states and decided to get out of ecowas now GDP is projected to grow around 11%, the fastest growing economy in Africa. Why would any sane people want to go back to that ECOWAS and poverty? viva SAHEL states be strong, united and patient you will make it. God is with you and real African brothers are supporting your decision.
Go ahead my Niger! The world is watching.
Even if they lift those sanctions…NO going back to ECOWAS…the ship has already sailed
No to democracy its an other word for semite autocracy and authenticuy, a vessel for failed state hood teft corruption police brutality nepotism. Bribery tribalism regional is even religious division. Rd entering ecowas is not something I would do
This is when your spouse realize how much you really did and want to make up. 😂
It’s really laughable. Niger and the other junta decided to leave ECOWAS. Now ECOWAS decided to act.
It’s probably the best deal for Niger ( Nigeria’s closest friend & neighbor among those landlocked AES)
Dumb reporting like this is why ECOWAS is no longer respected. Putting/applying the same strategies as the demands of the Western nation on a continent packed with poor folks
