News Central TV Mali has reaffirmed its exit without delay from the West African bloc, ECOWAS. Mali said it was not bound by the organisation's one-year timeframe for withdrawal.
Bamako's military government announced its withdrawal from ECOWAS on January 28, along with neighbouring Burkina Faso and Niger.
But Article 91 of the bloc's treaty stipulates that member countries remain bound by their obligations for a period of one year after notifying their withdrawal.
The ECOWAS parliament has called on the military governments in Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso to reconsider recent decisions to withdraw their membership in the regional bloc.
Foreign Policy Analyst, Bolu Michael-Biyi, gives insight on this story.
