Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span> The Authority of Heads of State and Government of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) are to hold a virtual meeting Friday to deliberate on the political situation in Burkina Faso. The Extraordinary meeting is being convened by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, Chairman of ECOWAS.<\/p>\n

The Heads of State will be considering and discussing the recent political developments in Burkina Faso as a result of the January 24, 2022, coup d\u2019\u00e9tat where army officers deposed 64-year-old President Roch Marc Christian Kabore. The coup makers had demanded the sacking of military chiefs and more resources to fight violent armed groups in the country.<\/p>\n

The military government, now known as the Patriotic Movement for Preservation and Restoration (MPSR), led by Lieutenant-Colonel Paul-Henri Sandaogo Damiba, announced the suspension of the constitution and dissolution of the government and Parliament, and indicated that it would propose a return to constitutional order \u201cwithin a reasonable time frame.\u201d<\/p>\n

But ECOWAS condemned the coup, the third of such in West Africa in the last 19 months, and asked the coup makers to lay down their arms in the higher interest of the country.<\/p>\n
