For those that don't want to read far leftist media with anti American spin: https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/18/africa/niger-ecowas-d-day-military-intervention-intl-hnk/index.html
Instead you post moderate right-wing media with a pro-American spin?
Why couldn't you just find a more neutral source like Al Jazeera or Reuters or DW?

I mean, the original article isn't even biased towards the left. It's just anti-interventionist but also actually recognizes what it calls prior successes of ECOWAS intervention and argues in favor of advancing American interests. The person you're replying to is just paranoid about "leftist media."
