Abdel-Fatau Musah, the ECOWAS commissioner for political affairs, speaks in part 1 of an exclusive interview about how the regional body plays a multifaceted role in the Niger crisis.
If the coup d’etat in Niger is allowed to stand, four of the 15 countries in the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) will be under military rule.

For Ambassador Abdel-Fatau Musah, the ECOWAS commissioner for political affairs, peace and security, the reality on the ground warranted decisive action.
