The bloc has also reversed the closure of Mali&#8217;s borders and has urged regional envoys to return to that country.<\/p>\n<p>The sanctions were lifted because the west African country&#8217;s military authorities had taken steps to establish an electoral code and monitoring mechanism, as well as adopted a new constitution, which would lead to elections in March 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Commission President Jean Claude Kassi Brou told a Press conference in Accra after an ordinary session of ECOWAS leaders that the lifting of those sanctions, placed on Mali in January, takes immediate effect.<\/p>\n<p>However, individual sanctions will remain in place and the country is still suspended from all activities on the block until constitutional order is restored.<\/p>\n<p>On the situation in Burkina Faso, Kassi Brou told the media that the Junta had agreed to a 24 month period to return the country to democratic rule,starting July 1, 2022.<\/p>\n<p>He said that ECOWAS Heads also removed the Economic and financial sanctions placed on the country. The regional grouping however rejected a 36-month transtion arrangement proposed by Guinea&#8217;s military authorities.<\/p>\n<p>It asked the junta to submit a new timetable by the end of the month, and a new Mediator, former Beniniose President Yayi Bonyi, has been appointed to work with the country to ensure its delivers the new arrangement by the deadline.<\/p>\n<p>The ECOWAS leaders decided to maintain the individual sanctions against members of the junta, amd the suspension of Guinea from the regional body.
