Mr Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, has disclosed that President John Dramani Mahama is working to bring back the three countries that recently opted out of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).
Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger, all led by military juntas, formed the Alliance of Sahel States (AES) and finally left the West African bloc in January this year.
The split was sparked after the leaders of these countries refused ECOWAS's demand to restore constitutional rule in their respective countries.
Mr Ablakwa in an interview with journalists in Accra, on Saturday, said the engagement with the three countries was underway. "Already, President Mahama has moved in to ensure that Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso come back to the ECOWAS fold.
