Forces from Nigeria, Senegal, Benin, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Togo and Guinea-Bissau are on standby, making Niger look like the clear underdog - though allies Burkina Faso and Mali have pledged to fight in its defence. But ECOWAS has an Achilles heel that could mean it comes out far worse in any confrontation: public opinion in its home countries. Citizens in member states have been vocal in their opposition to any intervention, meaning the political cost of war could be huge - whichever way things go on the battlefield. Here we take a closer look how the two armies might fare against each other if ECOWAS does attack, breaking down the available troops and military hardware on each side. One thing is clear: there would be a vast amount of unnecessary death, destruction and misery, as well as division and fury. #Niger #ECOWAS #Military #Coup #Niamey #Nigeria #Senegal #Benin #Ghana #IvoryCoast #Togo #GuineaBissau #UnderDog #Public #Politics #Troops #Military
