<p>The attention of the Commission of the Economic Community of West<br />
African States (ECOWAS Commission) has been drawn to a statement<br />
broadcast on the National Televisions of Mali and Niger announcing the<br />
decision of Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger to withdraw from ECOWAS.<br />
The ECOWAS Commission is yet to receive any direct formal notification<br />
from the three Member States about their intention to withdraw from the<br />
Community .<br />
The ECOWAS Commission, as directed by the Authority of Heads of State<br />
and Government, has been working assiduously with these countries for the<br />
restoration of constitutional order. Burkina Faso, Niger, and Mali remain<br />
important members of the Community and the Authority remains committed<br />
to finding a negotiated solution to the political impasse.<br />
The ECOWAS Commission remains seized with the development and shall<br />
make further pronouncements as the situation evolves.</p>
