ECOWAS recently suspended the West African country over the coup led by Colonel Mamady Doumbouya, toppling the long reign of Alpha Conde. This, Irbard Ibrahim said, was the right thing to do. “But today, Jerry Rawlings is no more; we’ve lost him. And again, I see intransigence on the part of the coup leaders because they are complaining [that] when things were bad, where was ECOWAS? Irbard Ibrahim also cautioned the ECOWAS, led by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, to work at dialoguing with the military leaders rather than aiming to force them to succumb to a democratic process.
