Sahel Military Chiefs Form Alliance, Exit ECOWAS Bloc

Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger have formed the Alliance of Sahel States (AES), marking their split from the West African regional bloc, ECOWAS. The Confederation of Sahel States, led by Mali in its first year, represents approximately 72 million people. This shift comes as these nations distance themselves from former colonial ruler France, expelling anti-jihadi French troops and seeking partnerships with Russia, Turkey, and Iran. Join us as we discuss this significant geopolitical development with Dr. Omololu Fagbadebo, Research Associate at Durban University of Technology. Watch now for an in-depth analysis.
