    That old man in Nigeria next in line to be uprooted. Let him know the seat he occupies does not belongs to him and he is treading on shattered waters. We know it was the west who appointed him but tell him not to get comfortable in that chair. His end will be worst.

    @bmswisdom9824 ECOWAS can't wait and should not wait. A military action would force the junta to escape immediately. Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso would not fight Ecowas. They have no capacity to fight Ecowas, also these countries are fractured into tribes. What you not seeing is that these coups are tribal struggle for domination and control of resources. Other tribes in those countries are never going to join the tribe of the coup leader to fight. One thing I can guarantee you is that if Ecowas initiate a military action, the coup plotters would escape in few days.
