Скачать или смотреть AES Biometric ID Card Explained | When Identity Became Infrastructure in the Sahel

Identity became infrastructure.
And the Sahel followed.

Across the Sahel, the Alliance of Sahel States (AES) has begun rolling out biometric identity cards — not as simple paperwork, but as a new system of control.

This video explains:
• Why AES countries prioritised biometric identity systems
• How identity shifted from administration to security infrastructure
• The role of biometric data in counterterrorism and population control
• What “digital sovereignty” now means in the Sahel
• And why control came before freedom in this new regional order

This is not just a story about technology.
It is a story about power.

In a region shaped by war, displacement, and blurred borders, identity has become the foundation of state authority. Databases now do what borders once did.

Watch until the end to understand why biometric ID in the Sahel is not about convenience — but about who governs, who moves, and who is recognised.
