In a statement issued on November 26, ECOWAS expressed its utter disgust at a plot by certain individuals to acquire arms and disturb the peace and constitutional order in Sierra Leone.
The regional body reiterated its commitment to supporting the government and people of Sierra Leone in deepening democracy and good governance while emphasizing a "zero-tolerance for unconstitutional change of government."
