The group Ecowas decided to temporarily stop Niger from being a member because the military rulers won’t bring back the former President Mohamed Bazoum.
In July, Mr Bazoum was removed from power by the military.
Ecowas said in a statement on Thursday that a recent summit of its leaders in Nigeria acknowledged that Mr Bazoum’s government was taken over by the military in a coup.
Niger has been suspended from Ecowas until things are back to normal in the country.
Ecowas thought there was a coup in Niger at first, so they waited before suspending the country.
Ecowas put sanctions and warned of using military force after the coup.
