Sahel States confirm Alliance: ECOWAS in Panic Mode? | Vantage with Palki Sharma

Sahel States confirm Alliance: ECOWAS in Panic Mode? | Vantage with Palki Sharma
Mali, Niger & Burkina Faso have signed a confederation treaty on Saturday, underscoring their desire to leave the West African bloc ECOWAS. ECOWAS met on Sunday and tried to make a case for the continued existence of the 50-year bloc. ECOWAS plans to create a counter terrorism squad and introduce a new currency. Will this be enough to bring back the junta-run Sahel states?

The fact that ECOWAS Head's of state decided to elect Tinubu who was still in court trying to know his fate following an election that was described internationally as undemocratic (not free or fair) was proof that the Group of corrupt rulers in ECOWAS were not serious.
