The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) special envoy, former President Dr Goodluck Jonathan; African Union (AU) High Representative for
Silencing the Guns, Dr Mohammed ibn Chambers; and the Netherlands have called for an end to incessant coups in Africa.
Jonathan said the theme of this year’s retreat is timely given the pace of rising insecurity, mounting social tension, the number of constitutional transitions and unconstitutional changes of governments that the region is facing.“Two days ago, there was the inaugural Lomé Peace and Security Forum which focused on responses to unconstitutional changes of governments, ongoing political transitions, democracy and good governance in Africa.
“The issue of inclusivity is not new for us in the ECOWAS region. We started to think about it in 2019 when we explored ways of improving the convergence principle mentioned in the Protocol on democracy and good governance. On his part, Netherlands Ambassador to Nigeria, Amb Williams Wouter Plomp, said African countries are facing a rise in unconstitutional government transition without constitution reforms.
