German Chancellor Olaf Scholz is lamenting the incessant coups in Africa but hopes it does not become a trend.
He made the comment on Sunday after a closed session with the President of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Omar Touray at the bloc’s headquarters in Abuja.
In recent times, there have been coups on the continent with the German leader saying the trend should be halted.
According to him, his visit is in the light of strengthening ties and cooperation with Nigeria. He assured of Germany’s continued support for the development of infrastructure in both countries.
He also frowned at the ongoing attacks in Israel and wants the restriction on Israel lifted in order to provide humanitarian aid to victims.
The German leader also called for the release of hostages kept by Hamas and stated that his country would provide all necessary support to Israel to defend its country.
