President Mahama pledges to ease ECOWAS-Sahel tensions

President John Dramani Mahama has reaffirmed his commitment to resolving tensions between the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and the Alliance of Sahel States (ASS).

During a high-level meeting with Burkina Faso’s leader, Captain Ibrahim Traoré, in Ouagadougou, President Mahama stressed the need to rebuild trust and foster dialogue to ease diplomatic strains between the two regional blocs.

He assured that the concerns of the Sahel states would be presented at the upcoming ECOWAS summit, marking a crucial step toward restoring cooperation and stability in the region.
