In the complex landscape of West African politics, the pressure from Western powers, including France, Europe, and the United States, urging ECOWAS (Economic Community of West African States) to intervene in Niger has given rise to growing doubts and contentious debates. The key question echoing throughout the region is: Why should ECOWAS become an instrument of the West's neocolonial ambitions in Niger?

Amid this geopolitical turmoil, the military in Niger has reportedly been successful in identifying technocrats willing to participate in a civilian government. The coup-led administration is gradually consolidating its power and achieving greater stability. Despite the imposed sanctions, it maintains robust support from within Niger.

The call for intervention is primarily emanating from Western powers attempting to enlist ECOWAS as a tool to advance their neocolonialist and neoimperialist interests. This external pressure is sparking resistance and dissent within ECOWAS itself.

If the coup-led government remains in control at the end of August, it's likely that the most critical juncture for intervention will have passed.
