Why Niger, Mali, Burkina Faso quit ECOWAS for Russia

Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger quit ECOWAS - In a move that shatters the West African landscape, three Sahel nations – Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger – have detonated a political bombshell, announcing their immediate withdrawal from the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) in a coordinated thunderclap. “Subservient to foreign powers,“ they spat in unison, accusing the regional bloc of not only betraying its founding ideals but of dancing to the tune of an unnamed, malign puppeteer. This seismic tremor, erupting from the heart of the already volatile Sahel region, sends shivers of apprehension across the 15-member ECOWAS, raising the specter of a cascading domino effect and plunging the region into a vortex of political and economic instability. The suddenness and ferocity of the exodus leave analysts scrambling for answers. Has ECOWAS lost its grip on its own members? Are deeper, hidden fissures threatening to erupt across the West African landscape?

This audacious move, framed as a “sovereign decision,“ amplifies the seismic shifts reverberating through the Sahel region, an area already grappling with the dual challenges of jihadist violence and pervasive poverty. The strained relationship between these Sahelian nations and ECOWAS has been a saga marked by turbulence, stemming from recent coups that shook the political landscapes of Niger, Burkina Faso, and Mali in 2021, 2022, and 2020 respectively. Suspended from ECOWAS in the wake of these coups, with heavy sanctions looming over Niger and Mali, the beleaguered regimes found themselves navigating treacherous waters. United under the banner of the “Alliance of Sahel States,“ Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger now stand shoulder to shoulder, challenging the status quo and cementing their collective determination to chart an independent course in the face of regional and international scrutiny. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ✅SUPPORT US /AFFILIATE LINKS Use this affiliate link for your purchases at #MIZIZI International - Support our channel - PayPal: newafricachannel(at) Follow us on Instagram - Follow us on Twitter - Join us on Facebook - ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ✅COPYRIGHT DISCLAIMER The New Africa Channel doesn’t fully own some of the materials compiled in its videos.
