At the end of the extraordinary summit of Mediation and Security Council (CSM) at the ministerial level held in Abuja, Nigeria on February 8, 2024, ECOWAS underlined “the crucial need” to prioritize diplomacy in the face of regional challenges. Among which is the withdrawal with “immediate effect” of Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger from the organization.
Nigerian Foreign Minister and MSC Chairman Yusuf Tuggar said the move by these 3 countries poses another challenge to ECOWAS. “The choice of these three countries to leave ECOWAS would not only cause hardship for their populations, but also undermine regional integration efforts,” Mr. Tuggar said.
However, he hopes that through “dialogue” and “diplomacy” the dispute between ECOWAS and these countries will eventually be resolved.

On Wednesday evening, a news scout observed a taxi driving onto the ski slope on a nearby ski slope in Laax GR. However, the vehicle doesn’t get far, it gets stuck in the snow and has to be towed away.
“The six passengers threatened him, they forced him to continue driving even though he told them it was too dangerous,” said the owner of Easy-Taxi, Haci Demirtas, when asked regarding 20 minutes. The person affected was a very young and rather inexperienced employee. “He said he didn’t want to go any further. The passengers then became angry and threatened not to pay him or to throw him into the snow,” the entrepreneur continues.
They were hotel guests on their way to the restaurant
“The path to the ‘Tegia Larnags’ restaurant is narrow and not passable when there is snow. Normally, passengers have to walk the last bit to the restaurant,” says the taxi operator. In this case, however, the tourists refused and the driver didn’t know any better.

Despite the initial shock, the young driver ends his shift because he already had further reservations for the evening. “The incident put a lot of strain on him and I had to calm him down. He was able to take the day off on Thursday. “He was back at work on Friday,” says his boss.
The police were not informed
The taxi company decided not to alert the police in the case. “Up here, the emergency services often need one to two hours before they can get to the scene,” says Demirtas. However, they still want to find out the identity of the tourists and have already contacted the hotel.
