The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) should prolong their deadline for the reinstatement of Niger’s ousted president, Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said in an interview published on Monday.
“The only way is the diplomatic one. I hope that the ultimatum of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), which expired last night at midnight, will be extended today,” Tajani told La Stampa newspaper.
