The Authority of Heads of State and Government of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) will hold another Extraordinary Summit of the Authority on the political situation in Burkina Faso in Accra, Ghana on Thursday, February 03, 2022.
The Heads of State held an Extraordinary Summit virtually on January 28, 2022, after the January 24, 2022, coup d’état in Burkina Faso.
After the Summit, the Authority deployed immediately a high-level mission of the ECOWAS Committee of Chiefs of Defence Staff to hold consultations with the military leaders.
A Joint Ministerial Mission led by the Chairperson of the Council of Ministers was also deployed to assess the political situation in Burkina Faso and submit their report to the Authority of Heads of State.
A statement by the APO Group quoted the ECOWAS Commission as saying that during the Extraordinary Summit, the Heads of State will be considering and discussing reports from these high-level missions.
