In a press release, the ECOWAS Commission stated that it has not received any direct formal notification from the three member states regarding their intention to withdraw from the community. The Commission emphasized that it has been working diligently with these countries, as directed by the Authority of Heads of State and Government, for the restoration of constitutional order.

Despite the reports of withdrawal, the ECOWAS Commission reaffirmed the importance of Burkina Faso, Niger, and Mali as integral members of the community. The Authority of Heads of State and Government remains committed to finding a negotiated solution to the political impasse in these countries.

The ECOWAS Commission assured that it continues to monitor the situation closely and will issue further statements as the situation evolves.

This response from the ECOWAS Commission comes amidst heightened concerns over the political stability in Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger, and the potential impact of their reported withdrawal on the regional dynamics within West Africa.
