 And a pro-democracy and human rights activist, Professor Udenta Udenta has called on the economic community of West African states to reinvent itself and continue its role as the pride of Africa and the whole world. This advice is coming in the wake of three very important and key Eco West countries announcing their withdrawal from the regional body, citing various reasons, but Professor Udenta says these democratic backsliding by these three must be contained and rolled back. He says... Benchmarks of indices and recordously followed from the authority of the House of State to the Institute of Eco West Commission and tried to now codify these indices at the level of the Eco West in the parliament and then imbued the parliament and the law, the parliament base with the power and authority that this is going to command respect and attention and recognition and responsiveness by the nation-state. Behold, Eco West caught up justices beyond just a made-to, despised opinion, but whose authority in the sense of its expressed opinions and decisions are not only respected but are mandated. He says Eco West must make it self-viable by ensuring that its leaders adheres to all the principles of democracy which will translate to social economic and political development of the region with the citizens living good and prosperous lives. This island region is a very important part of the war because of the complicated crisis that have due strategic interest to a lot of players, France being the old colonial power, the US because of the issue of terrorism, having bases in some of these countries, China mocking around there, looking for opportunities to build new partnerships, Russia with the Wagner group and so on looking to upset the West, or stage the West. So we find that this area where you find a mix of terrorism, Islamic extremism, arms trade, trading human beings, etc. We'll be appetizing in a lot of these players who will light on their mind, not only the credibility of the look who seems, the security situations there, what they call embarrass the regional body. Now, the biggest implication is that ECOA should be growing in strength and stature, not just as a regional economic body, you know, with the moods and shapes of integration and cooperation.
