Military chiefs from the West African bloc ECOWAS will meet in Ghana on Thursday and Friday to discuss possible military intervention in Niger, regional military and political sources said Tuesday.
The meeting -- originally scheduled for Saturday but then postponed -- came after ECOWAS leaders last week approved deployment of a "standby force to restore constitutional order" in Niger, whose elected president Mohamed Bazoum was toppled on July 26.
