The French government says it will firmly support efforts by the West African regional group ECOWAS to reinstate Niger’s deposed President. West African nations gave coup leaders until Sunday, to give up power and return to civilian rule. The region’s military chiefs have drawn up a plan for possible military intervention.

Burkina Faso and Mali have warned that any intervention in neighbouring Niger would be considered a “declaration of war” against their two countries, a signal of support for leaders of the recent coup there. In a statement released on Monday, the governments of Mali and Burkina Faso also refused to implement what they called “illegal, illegitimate and inhumane sanctions” against the Nigerien people and authorities. The message comes less than a week after soldiers guarding Nigerien President Mohamed Bazoum took the leader into custody on July 26, declaring they had “put an end” to his administration.
