Defense chiefs of West Africa proposed a plan on Thursday in Abuja, Nigeria, to deploy a 5,000-strong “standby force” aimed at tackling the region’s escalating security challenges. The proposal, costing $2.6 billion annually, was presented amidst concerns over funding constraints and internal divisions within the regional bloc.https://mediatalkafrica.com/169813/west-africa-defense-chiefs-propose-5000-strong-standby-force-amid-regional-security-crises 3 Likes

I support their plan for ECOWAS but financing it is the problem... $2.5 billion is a lot of money for ECOWAS members 4 Likes |

Paraman:They will heap the technical and financial burden of this on Nigeria. This is partly why I want Morroco to be accepted into ECOWAS. They should come and be sharing part of the cost of running it in return for access to the ECOWAS market. 9 Likes |

Powered by western propaganda Slaves to America Europe and israel. The sooner we operate a decentralized society in africa the better for us. We dont need leaders anymore in Africa. You guys should learn how igbos lived in the past, no king yet very peaceful and wise thats why you can never bring them down, productive society everywhere they go. Western democracy is rubbish. Absolute presidential power is rubbish thats why you will continue to hear of wars and more wars, due to greediness. Cant be giving power to people who be wasting time and resources yet acomplishing nothing decade in decade out. In less than 3 decades youll be looking back at a useless life wasted, when you feel you could have done more with it ,and if you trace the fault, its from these useless leaders, who feel entitled with their brainwashed money loving, senseless tribalistic followers, doing their bidding. 8 Likes |

Omar Alieu Touray, president of the ECOWAS Commission, stressed the urgency of addressing insecurity within the community and called upon member states to endorse the proposed force. The plan is slated for consideration at an upcoming summit of regional heads of state. |

zinaunreal:Bro you are very right but western democracy is not nonsense just that we don't know how to run it. We try to copy them instead of using our natural way of governance. Take today for instance the debate between trump and Biden. A whole president was grilled like a student imagine something like that happening in Nigeria with someone like tinubu I no type long shit because I hate to stress myself giving opinion about governance in Nigeria because it will change nothing 3 Likes |
