'It's like a celebration': Nigeriens welcome lifting of regional sanctions

Description

Nigeriens on have welcomed the lifting of some of the sanctions that were imposed on the country by West Africa's regional bloc following last year's coup. 'For us, it's like a celebration,' says a local tradesman. The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) suspended trade and imposed tough sanctions last July, after Niger's president, Mohamed Bazoum, was ousted in a military coup. SOUNDBITE
