West African leaders and heads of state are meeting in Ivory Coast today to discuss political crisis in Mali following last week's military coup there. The emergency meeting of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) is likely to consider suspending Mali's membership from the 15-member sub-regional bloc. 

ECOWAS Vice President Toga Gayewea McIntosh said his group is concerned with preserving peace, stability and democracy in the country. The United States said yesterday that it will suspend some aid to Mali's in protest. Earlier, the United Nations Security Council strongly condemned the forcible seizure of power from Mali's democratically elected government.
