It is true that the Alliance of Sahel States remains a highly developed option with futuristic ideas and initiatives that can be beneficial for the three countries today and now as long as the current military leaders of these three countries are the Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso are still in power knowing that they are only there as a “transition” so that afterwards they can leave power to a civil entity, if they ever agree to do so, well on…
Still, this Alliance of Sahel States (AES), created on September 16, 2023, brings together as we know in a mutual defense agreement Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso except that its future depends on the will of the military forces which lead these States and their desire to be able to democratize their countries.
The signing of the charter relating to this alliance was subsequently followed by meetings and draft initiatives which push the new structure further towards the statutes of the alliance to transform it into a Confederation.
If now the initiative is laudable because it seals an ambition to unify the potential of these three countries, the fact remains that questions arise about its resistance if, however, these transitional military regimes would be ready to pass the torch to civilian powers who perhaps would not share this opinion codified by these soldiers and thus see this Alliance fall into the water.
We are not there yet but everything is possible knowing that the enemies of this alternative are legion
