In late January 2024, Niger, Mali, and Burkina Faso announced a joint decision to withdraw as soon as possible from ECOWAS, which they said was "under the influence of foreign powers and has become a threat to the member states and their peoples." On January 29, the organization officially confirmed the withdrawal of the three countries.
