In a joint press release issued on 28 January 2024, Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger announced their departure, with immediate effect, from the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). This decision is a major event in the context of the regional integration in West Africa. ECOWAS, which was set up on 28 May 1975 to promote economic, social and political cooperation between its member states, is seeing this regional integration dynamic called into question after 49 years.
Beyond the reduction in the number of members, this withdrawal raises several questions, and it is important for GCR to closely monitor future developments surrounding this decision.
