Recent tensions in Mali and Cote d'Ivoire have called into question the regional solidarity that had hitherto been part of ECOWAS' exceptionalism.
Thirty years ago this week, Ghana dispatched 3500 troops to join other West African soldiers, fighting under ECOMOG, into Liberia on an offensive mission to oust Liberia's Charles Taylor.
ECOMOG, ECOWAS' military force, would fight a simultaneous war in Sierra Leone alongside Liberia between 1990 and 1997 culminating in a departure from ECOWAS' economic integration mandate.
In the latest edition of Agenda2063 TV show, we return to an appreciation of Agenda2063's aspiration 3.
Here are some key questions we shall be asking:
Questions:
1. What is relevance of AU's Transitional Justice Policy?
2. Thirty years after Ecomog's intervention in Liberia, can Liberia enjoy "benefits" of a TJ policy?
3. Can AU's TJ Policy help pave the way for a day dedicated to commemorating victims of Liberian civil war/genocide of 1990s?
