West Africa bloc says lifting Niger sanctions

CGTN

West Africa's regional bloc ECOWAS on Saturday said it was lifting some of the sanctions imposed on Niger after last year's military coup.

A no-fly zone and border closures were among the sanctions being lifted "with immediate effect" on "humanitarian grounds", ECOWAS Commission chief Omar Alieu Touray said following an emergency summit in Abuja.
