ECOWAS, which was in news recently, is
a. A sustainable development initiative of UNFCCC
b. An organization of African countries
c. An Asian political and economic intergovernmental organization
d. None of the above
ECOWAS stands for Economic Community of West African States
About ECOWAS:
It is a regional political and economic union of fifteen countries located in West Africa.
It was established in 1975, with the signing of the Treaty of Lagos.
The goal of ECOWAS is to achieve “collective self-sufficiency” for its member states by creating a single large trade bloc by building a full economic and trading union.
It also serves as a peacekeeping force in the region.
Considered one of the pillar regional blocs of the continent-wide African Economic Community (AEC).
Context:
ECOWAS is attempting to mediate to solve the crisis in Mali.
Since 1960, when Mali gained independence from France, there have been five coups — and only one peaceful transition from one democratically elected president to another.
Nine months ago, President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita was overthrown in the wake of mass anti-government protests.
Last week, the announcement of a new cabinet was made that excluded two key military leaders. Following this, the army has detained the President and the Prime Minister.
As a result of the recent coup, ECOWAS has suspended Mali from its membership.
