ECOWAS Vows to Work with Burkina Faso

The Economic Community of West African States, ECOWAS, has assured that it would keep working with Burkina Faso.
Ghana’s Foreign Minister, Shirley Botchway, who led delegation to the Burkina capital Ouagadougou, said the body was concerned about the three-year period for transition back to democracy.

ECOWAS had suspended Burkina Faso after the military overthrew President Roch Kabore, but has not imposed sanctions as it did on neighboring Mali and Guinea.

The Economic Community has demanded the release of former President Kabore, who has been in custody for nearly two months since the coup.
