Burkina Faso, Mali Back Niger Coup, Warn Against Military Intervention | Chance For Russia's Wagner?

Burkina Faso and Mali have warned that any military intervention in Niger would be considered a “declaration of war” against their nations. The warning came a day after West African leaders threatened to use "force" to reinstate the Niger’s deposed President Mohamed Bazoum.
The West African regional grouping called ECOWAS also slapped financial sanctions on Niger’s coup leaders. The two countries, which are both ruled by military-backed govts, issued the warning in joint statements released on July 31.
