The European Union warned that it stood ready to impose sanctions on rebel-run Niger after repeatedly demanding that the military hand the power back to President Mohamed Bazoum. Leaders of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) agreed at a summit on Thursday to deploy a military force to Niger after President Bazoum’s elite guard ousted him and appointed a transitional government. The EU reiterated its call for Niger to return to "constitutional order" and praised the West African bloc’s efforts to find a diplomatic solution, while taking note of its decision to activate a standby military force.

EU Mulls Sanctions Against Niger to Put Pressure on Coup Leaders
Earlier, Emanuela Del Re, EU Special Representative for the African Sahel expressed satisfaction that ECOWAS sanctions are beginning to take effect by causing a shortage of food and medicine in the coup-hit Niger.
The European Union warned that it stood ready to impose sanctions on rebel-run Niger after repeatedly demanding that the military hand the power back to President Mohamed Bazoum.
"The EU fully supports the efforts made by ECOWAS and stands ready to support them, including through the establishment of a new regime of individual sanctions," the statement read in French.
Leaders of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS)
agreed at a summit on Thursday to deploy a military force to Niger after President Bazoum’s elite guard ousted him and appointed a transitional government.
The EU
reiterated its call for Niger to return to "constitutional order" and praised the West African bloc’s efforts to find a diplomatic solution, while taking note of its decision to activate a standby military force.
