Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger leave Ecowas - BBC Africa
Three countries under military rule have officially left West African regional bloc Ecowas, after more than a year of diplomatic tensions.
The withdrawal of Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger is a huge blow to Ecowas, which at 50 years old is considered Africa's most important regional group.
The split was sparked after the three departing countries refused Ecowas demands to restore diplomatic rule.
