Which are the french speaking ecowas member states?

There are no French-speaking member states of ECOWAS (Economic Community of West African States).

While French is an official language in many West African countries, all ECOWAS members are officially Anglophone or have English as one of their official languages.

Here's why there's confusion:

* French-speaking West African countries: Many countries in West Africa are predominantly French-speaking, like Senegal, Mali, Côte d'Ivoire, Burkina Faso, Niger, Benin, and Togo.

* ECOWAS membership: These countries are part of the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU), a separate economic community.

Therefore, while these French-speaking West African nations are geographically close and have strong historical and cultural ties, they are not members of ECOWAS.
