ECOWAS member Cabo Verde opposes military intervention in Niger
Cabo Verde President Jose Maria Neves added that Cabo Verde was unlikely to join a potential military operation in Niger
PARIS, August 12. /TASS/. Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) member state Cabo Verde opposes a military intervention in Niger under the organization’s auspices, Cabo Verde President Jose Maria Neves said.

"We all should work to restore constitutional order in Niger but in no way through a military intervention or an armed conflict at this point. We should actively engage in talks and resolve issues diplomatically because any military intervention will make the situation worse, turning the region into an explosive zone," Agence France-Presse quoted him as saying.
