Burkina Faso’s break from ECOWAS — and what it means for extremism

Burkina Faso (MNN) -- Burkina Faso, along with Mali and Niger, has officially left the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). All three nations are under junta military rule following recent coups, and have been frustrated with censors and sanctions from ECOWAS.This exit drops ECOWAS’s membership to 12 countries and highlights growing frustrations in the critical regional bloc.For Christians in Burkina Faso, this change could make an already dangerous situation worse.
