AES Countries Face Significant Consequences After Exiting ECOWAS, Says Tuggar

The Minister of Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Yusuf Maitama Tuggar has raised concerns that the withdrawal of Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger from the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) will have far-reaching consequences for regional security, economy, and integration efforts in the region.

In an exclusive interview in Abuja, Tuggar noted that the exit of these countries from ECOWAS is a complex issue that requires careful consideration and diplomatic efforts to address the underlying concerns.

While speaking further, Tuggar stressed that the decision to impose sanctions on these countries was a collective one made by the ECOWAS heads of states and government.

He also noted that President Bola Tinubu has been working tirelessly to address the concerns of these countries through diplomatic channels.

“Several delegations have been sent to these countries, and the presidents of Togo and Sierra Leone have been appointed as mediators to facilitate dialogue.

“Additionally, ECOWAS has lifted sanctions on these countries, paving the way for potential reconciliation.”

Tuggar also said, the security implications of this exit are a significant concern, as the region is already grappling with terrorism and humanitarian crises.

“ECOWAS has established a 1650-man strong brigade to combat terrorism and offered financial assistance to support the affected countries in their fight against terrorism.”

“The economic implications are also substantial, as these countries will no longer be part of the regional economic community, potentially limiting their access to markets and hindering economic growth.”

“The withdrawal may also disrupt regional integration efforts, including the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).”

“The African Union and other international organizations have expressed concerns about the potential impact on regional integration efforts and the stability of the continent.

The Minister emphasized the need for continued collaboration and cooperation to mitigate the challenges arising from this development.

“The regional bloc has also offered support to the affected countries to address their security concerns.”

“We recognize the challenges faced by these countries, and we are committed to providing assistance to help them address their security concerns,” Ambassador Tuggar said.

He also said the exit of these countries from ECOWAS has also raised concerns about the potential impact on regional health organizations.

“The West African Health Organization (WAHO) is based in Burkina Faso, and its relocation could have significant implications for the region.

The Minister emphasized that the door remains open for these countries to rejoin the regional bloc. “We hope that they will take advantage of this opportunity to re-engage with their West African neighbors and work towards a more stable and prosperous future for all.” He said.

While reacting to uncertainty surrounding the future of the Alliance of Sahel States(AES) countries’ relationship with ECOWAS, Tuggar said with continued diplomacy, cooperation, and a commitment to the well-being of the people, it is possible to navigate these challenges and promote a more stable and prosperous West Africa.

“The region is at a critical juncture, and the decisions made in the coming months and years will have a lasting impact on the future of West Africa.”

“As such, it is essential that leaders prioritize the needs and concerns of the people and work towards finding solutions that promote peace, stability, and prosperity.”

“Ultimately, the future of the AES countries’ relationship with ECOWAS will depend on the ability of leaders to work together and find common ground.”

“As President Tinubu emphasized, the door remains open for these countries to rejoin the regional bloc, and it is hoped that they will take advantage of this opportunity to re-engage with their West African neighbors,” he said.
