Africa-Press – Mali. <\/strong><\/span>Several West African leaders met Tuesday in Nigeria to discuss how to manage security at the end of a UN peacekeeping mission in Mali and push for a return to democracy after a series of coups.<\/p>\n

The UN Security Council last month voted to end a decade-old peacekeeping mission in Mali, after the ruling junta demanded the withdrawal of foreign forces and aligned itself closer to Russia.<\/p>\n

Three members of the 15-nation Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) bloc \u2014 Mali, Burkina Faso and Guinea \u2014 are run by juntas after five coups among them since 2020.<\/p>\n

Al Qaeda and Islamic State allied jihadists are also gaining ground in the Sahel and their wars creeping south to coastal West African states.<\/p>\n

Nigeria\u2019s new President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, elected this month as chair of ECOWAS, met in the Nigerian capital Abuja on Tuesday with leaders from Niger, Guinea-Bissau and Benin.<\/p>\n

MALI<\/p>\n

Nigeria, Benin and Guinea-Bissau formed a three-state commission backed by Niger looking for alternative security options after the UN\u2019s Mali withdrawal, including the possible involvement of ECOWAS member troops.<\/p>\n

Representing the task force, Benin\u2019s President Patrice Talon will travel soon to the three coup-hit nations to discuss security and their transition to democracy, Omar Alieu Touray, the ECOWAS commission president, told reporters in Abuja.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe leaders have reaffirmed their commitment to expeditious transition to democracy in these countries,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith regards to security, the leaders have resolved to provide a robust response… The regional response shall include the operationalisation of the ECOWAS plan of action, with the region\u2019s own troop.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last year, West African leaders agreed to create a regional security force to intervene against jihadists and prevent coups.<\/p>\n

But details on how that force would work and its funding are still unclear with ECOWAS defence chiefs expected to make decisions later this year.<\/p>\n

Facing anti-French sentiment, Paris last year was forced by Mali\u2019s junta to pull its troops out. Burkina Faso\u2019s military leaders this year asked French troops to leave.<\/p>\n

Since 2012, Mali been battling a jihadist insurgency that has since spread to Burkina Faso and Niger, killing and displacing thousands of people.<\/p>\n
