General Secretary of Convention Peoples Party (CPP), Nana Yaa Jantoah cautions the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) not to start a third world war on African soil.
According to her sending troops to Niger is not necessary because the situation now is volatile so why do you add a coup to it?.
She said, “Should Niger fall in the war; they will start kidnapping us because they may come as refugees and that will cause a lot of harm”.
Speaking in an interview monitored by Ahotoronline.com, Nana Yaa Jantoah indicated that, the moment there will be a military intervention in Niger, foreign countries will show interest since most of them do not wish Africa well and that will bring a lot of destruction to the African soil.
She called on ECOWAS to do the needful by finding out the reason for coups in West Africa and finding a solution to it than cause war on their own land.
Chiefs of Defense Staff from the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) countries will meet in Accra on Thursday, August 17, 2023, to strategize on possible military intervention in Niger.
ECOWAS leaders last week resolved to activate a standby force for intervention following a takeover by the junta.
The Military Chiefs are expected to prepare a plan of attack in Niger if ECOWAS leaders give the green light.
Chief of Defense Staff for the Federal Republic of Nigeria, General Christopher Musa, said they will do what is right.
