ECOWAS gives ultimatum, orders Mali Junta to appoint civilian head and Prime minister
ECOWAS has ordered the Mali coupists in a fresh ultimatum to appoint a civilian head of transition government and Prime Minister for the country with one week.
According to the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), the junta has not less than a week, that is September 15, to appoint the head of the transition government and also Prime Minister. Both, the regional body said must be civilians.
Fact checked by OnyxNews Nigeria says the transition government will have one year to treat a return to democracy, which was abruptly cut short by the Military junta.
The ultimatum was given at the end of the 57th ECOWAS summit in Niamey, Republic of Niger.
The Head of states and government decision was contained in a communique issued at the end of the summit.
The communique stated: “Regarding the situation in Mali, the authority reaffirms its determination to ensure that constitutional order is quickly restored in Mali, with a political transition led by a civilian President and Prime Minister for 12 months.
“The authority maintains all the decisions taken at its extraordinary Summit of August 28, 2020 and notes the ongoing consultations between the Malian stakeholders initiated by the National Council for the People’s Salvation (CNSP),” the statement read in full.
