Sahel Rejects Nigeria's Claims as AES Slams Tinubu Over Border Terror Blame Game | Firstpost Africa

Watch this video as Firstpost examines the deepening diplomatic rift across West Africa as Nigeria and the Alliance of Sahel States clash over cross-border security. The dispute escalated after Nigerian President Bola Tinubu attributed his country's worsening security crisis and mass abductions to instability in neighbouring Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger. In response, the three Sahelian nations summoned Nigeria's envoy, rejecting Tinubu's claims as inaccurate and accusing Abuja of trivializing the sacrifices made by Sahelian troops fighting armed groups. The diplomatic breakdown highlights a fractured West Africa, split between ECOWAS members and the Russian-aligned AES confederation. Despite growing military expansion in Nigeria and ongoing security operations in the Sahel, jihadist threats continue to spill across shared borders. With regional trust eroding, West Africa faces a critical test of whether neighbouring states can overcome political divides to confront a common enemy. Firstpost Africa brings you the details.
