ECOWAS REJECT PRESIDENT MILLS CALL TO MEDIATE IN COTE D’IVOIRE
Deputy Minister of Information, James Agyenim-Boateng says ECOWAS has rejected President Mills’ call to mediate in the ongoing political crises in Cote D’Ivoire.
He explained that after their emergency meeting in Nigeria ECOWAS took a firm decision not to elect any official whose country shares boundaries with Cote d’Ivoire to mediate.
Speaking to Adakabre Frimpong Manso on Dwaso Nsem today, Mr. Agyenim Boateng said ECOWAS has also ruled out any intervention by chiefs and diplomats from nearby countries.
The African Union and ECOWAS have nominated Raila Odinga and Thabo Mbeki to mediate alongside the heads of states of Benin, Sierra Leone, and Cape Verde.
Mr. Agyenim Boateng explains the rationale for the rejection of President Mills.

Meanwhile Ghana is not contributing troupes to the intended ECOWAS Military Mission to Cote d’Ivoire, and Mr. Agyenim-Boateng the decision was based on consultation between President Mills and his Minister of Defence, Lt. General J.H. Smith.
Ghana is already contributing 500 troupes to the UN Mission protecting President Elect Allasane Ouattara in Cote d’Iviore, and the minister of defense says Ghana’s army would be overstretched if it sent another batch of troupes to that country.
