We call for his immediate release.&#8221; Blinken was speaking at a joint press conference in New Zealand during a two-day visit.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, the new head of regional bloc ECOWAS, Nigerian President Bola Tinubu said that Benin&#8217;s President Patrice Talon would be travelling to Niger on a mediation mission. Talon was in Abuja for a meeting with the Nigerian leader. It is unclear whether he will be mediating on behalf of ECOWAS or Tinubu himself.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking before his departure, Talon said, &#8220;All means will be used, if necessary, to restore constitutional order in Niger, but ideally everything should happen in peace and harmony.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The situation is worrying enough that ECOWAS and President Tinubu, the President of Nigeria, a neighbour of Niger, with Benin, also a neighbour of Niger, take it seriously and want to act quickly,&#8221; Talon added.<\/p>\n<p>Tinubu, was elected to lead ECOWAS in July, has pushed for a return to democracy in West African countries now run by military governments. The 15-member bloc has seen five coups in three of its member countries since 2020.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Without democracy there\u2019s no governance, there\u2019s no freedom, there\u2019s no rule of law.
