The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has declared a state of emergency across the sub-region, following a series of coups and failed mutinies that have raised concerns over regional stability.

Touray highlighted that the recent developments underscore the “imperative of serious introspection on the future of our democracy and the urgent need to invest in the security of our community.”
