The '''Economic Community of West African States''' ('''ECOWAS''') is a [[Neocolonialism|neocolonial]] organization of twelve West African countries. Previously a grouping of fifteen countries, the number was reduced to twelve following a January 28, 2024 joint statement by [[Republic of Mali|Mali]], [[Burkina Faso]] and [[Republic of the Niger|Niger]] announcing their withdrawal from the regional bloc.<ref name=":0">[https://peoplesdispatch.org/2024/01/30/mali-burkina-faso-and-niger-withdraw-from-ecowas/ “Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger Withdraw from ECOWAS.”] [[Peoples Dispatch]], January 30, 2024.

The '''Economic Community of West African States''' ('''ECOWAS''') is a [[Neocolonialism|neocolonial]] organization of fifteen West African countries. It is threatening to declare war on [[Republic of the Niger|Niger]] on behalf of the [[United States of America|USA]] and [[French Republic|France]] and has already [[Economic sanctions|sanctioned]] Niger. [[Burkina Faso]] and [[Republic of Mali|Mali]] have said that they will go to war to defend Niger.<ref>{{Web citation|author=Kayla Marie|newspaper=[[Liberation News]]|title=Niger’s new government defies imperialist-backed ECOWAS war threats|date=2023-08-11|url=https://www.liberationnews.org/nigers-new-government-defies-imperialist-backed-ecowas-war-threats/|retrieved=2023-08-11}}</ref>
 
In 2023, after Niger's newly-formed [[National Council for the Safeguard of the Homeland]] (CNSP) terminated Niger's military agreements with [[France]] and ordered the withdrawal of French troops from Niger, ECOWAS acted on the behalf of the [[United States of America|USA]] and France, threatening to declare war, and [[Economic sanctions|sanctioned]] Niger. Burkina Faso and Mali said that they would go to war to defend Niger.<ref>{{Web citation|author=Kayla Marie|newspaper=[[Liberation News]]|title=Niger’s new government defies imperialist-backed ECOWAS war threats|date=2023-08-11|url=https://www.liberationnews.org/nigers-new-government-defies-imperialist-backed-ecowas-war-threats/|retrieved=2023-08-11}}</ref> Following this, Niger, Burkina Faso, and Mali went on to form the [[Alliance of Sahel States]] (AES) in September of 2023, and announced their withdrawal from ECOWAS in January 2024.<ref name=":0" />
