Oh thank God. This is a huge break for anti colonial movements in Africa

I think Nigeria could still invade (and drag ECOWAS with it), but hopefully that helps take the wind out of its sails.

At least it doesn't sound like they will have much diplomatic cover to do it. Such an invasion would very simply be a violation of, shall we say it, the rules-based international order(tm).

Yep, it's good to see that sovereignty will be respected. These international orgs like OAS and AU can go either way, it depends on a lot of factors.
