They would also quit Ecowas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The warning from the two junta-led countries marks a significant twist that could escalate the volatile regional situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They said such a move would be disastrous and destabilising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both countries have severed ties with the West and embraced alliances with Russia.
