Sahel: Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso Launch AES Joint Parliament in Historic Step | Firstpost Africa
Watch this video as Firstpost examines how Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso are rapidly transforming the Alliance of Sahel States into a new political order. The AES has opened its first joint parliament in Niamey, marking another major step in the three countries' attempt to build institutions outside the traditional West African framework. Forty-five representatives from Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso are meeting to coordinate laws and strengthen the confederation. The move follows the creation of a joint military force, a development bank and common identity documents, while the three nations have also moved away from ECOWAS. But the new Sahel project faces major tests, from dependence on coastal trade routes to the persistent threat from JNIM and Islamic State Sahel. With Russia deepening ties with the bloc and China watching its economic potential, the AES could become an increasingly important geopolitical force in Africa. Alyson Le Grange tells you more on Firstpost Africa.TIME STAMPS:
