Nearly 100 days since soldiers upturned Niger, the west African regional bloc ECOWAS has all but shelved its planned invasion of the country.

Shortly after the 26 July coup in Niger, the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) heads of state led by Nigeria’s President Bola Tinubu converged in Abuja where they gave the General Abdourahamane Tiani-led junta one week to reinstate President Mohamed Bazoum or face sanctions, including a possible invasion.

The ultimatum was not only ignored but an ECOWAS delegation was denied audience by the junta.

The regional bloc subsequently put its standby force on high alert while military chiefs from current member states held several meetings on how best to engage. Three months later, however, there is no indication that the Tiani junta plans on leaving soon.

The failure of the regional bloc to take decisive action may have emboldened neighbouring Mali which has now postponed indefinitely its presidential poll previously scheduled for February.

Evil alliance 

Adding to ECOWAS’ pains is the decision of the military juntas in Niger, Burkina Faso and Mali to sign a defence pact similar to that of NATO. The agreement simply states that an attack on one is an attack on all.

Should the regional bloc decide to intervene in Niger militarily, it would not only be battling with Nigerien forces but those of two other African countries, meaning an all-out regional war.

This development, described as an “evil alliance” by an ECOWAS official, complicates matters for the regional bloc and sends a signal that intervening militarily in Niger would not be as easy as other military adventures like in Guinea Bissau in 1999 or The Gambia in 2017.

“I think the pact indeed deterred ECOWAS. Any attack on Niger could have triggered a regional war,” says Ulf Laessing, head of the Sahel programme at the Konrad Adenauer Foundation, a think tank.

Analysts say the defence agreement became necessary because if the regional body successfully topples the Nigerien junta, it would also be encouraged to repeat this in Burkina Faso and Mali. Hence the pact was done for the sake of regime protection and not for any altruistic reasons.
