An Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) delegation led by Abdulsalami Abubakar, former military head of state, on Thursday arrived Niamey, capital of Niger, to negotiate with the country’s military junta.

Abdulsalami was accompanied by Muhammadu Abubakar, the Sultan of Sokoto, and Alieu Touray, president of the ECOWAS commission.

The new military government in Niger is led by Abdourahmane Tiani, former head of ousted President Mohamed Bazoum’s presidential guard.
