At present, the coup d'état in Niger remains difficult to resolve peacefully. The deadline for the ECOWAS "ultimatum" has come, but the coup army is still negotiating with the relevant neighboring countries. Once ECOWAS actually implements military intervention, it is more likely that the Niger coup will be directly responded by force.
