West African leaders have approved the deployment of a standby force to restore constitutional order in Niger, an intervention that will take place as soon as possible, Ivory Coast President Alassane Ouattara said Thursday. The ECOWAS regional bloc did not provide details on the force to be deployed or the timetable for action against the military officers who seized control of Niger two weeks ago, deposing Mohamed Bazoum as president. With the West African bloc backing a military 'standby' force for Niger, FRANCE 24's Monte Francis is joined by Isabelle Trick, the Global Counsel’s lead Africa analyst and Associate Director in their global macro practice. • • 🔔 Subscribe to France 24 now: https://f24.my/YTen • 🔴 LIVE - Watch FRANCE 24 English 24/7 here: https://f24.my/YTliveEN • 🌍 Read the latest International News and Top Stories: https://www.france24.com/en/ • Like us on Facebook: https://f24.my/FBen • Follow us on Twitter: https://f24.my/TWen • Discover the news in pictures on Instagram: https://f24.my/IGen • Get the latest top stories on Telegram: https://f24.my/TGen
