This is pretty big news and deserves much more than the scant coverage it has gotten so far. Ecowas is one of those organizations whose main role has become that of a tool to facilitate control of a region for neo-colonialism. This is a big L for the West, they have lost three entire countries. I wouldn't be surprised if in the coming years we also see similar exits out of other regional organizations (such as OAS in Latin America) which are part of Washington's hegemonic system.
