Defence chiefs from the ECOWAS group have been meeting in the Ghanaian capital Accra, to discuss details of a stand-by military force.
The group's commissioner insisted military intervention was a last resort - but voiced his frustration at efforts to engage diplomatically with Niger's new junta. They took control in a coup late last month and have held the elected President in detention since.
