Niger’s Junta Challenges ECOWAS Sanctions in Court Amid Economic Turmoil

Niger’s Junta Challenges ECOWAS Sanctions in Court Amid Economic Turmoil
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

Amidst stringent sanctions imposed by ECOWAS, Niger, led by General Abdourahmane Tchiani’s junta, has taken the bloc to court over the penalties following the military’s takeover. The junta seeks an immediate lift of these sanctions, claiming they’ve profoundly affected every aspect of Nigerien society, plunging one of the world’s poorest nations into severe economic distress.

The ECOWAS court, convening in Abuja, has set December 7, 2023, for its judgment on the matter. These sanctions were slapped on Niger after the National Council for the Safeguard of the Homeland ousted President Mohammed Bazoum on July 26, 2023.

Represented by lawyers including Moukaila Yaye, the junta argued that ECOWAS’ sanctions specifically target Nigeriens, advocating for the court to recognize its jurisdiction over the case and deem their application admissible.

However, the respondents—ECOWAS Authority of Heads of State, the Mediation and Security Council, and the ECOWAS Commission—represented by François Kanga-Penond, countered that the junta lacks recognition within the bloc’s protocol and lacks the authority to bring forth such a case in court.

As discussions unfold, the whereabouts of Bazoum remain uncertain, leaving observers questioning the priorities amid this legal tussle. The situation urges a reflection on the dynamics of interference within African nations’ internal governance.
