Three African Nations Kick Out French & U.S. Troops; Embrace Putin's Russia, Exit Pro-West ECOWAS

Military leaders of Niger, Mali, and Burkina Faso have announced their withdrawal from Ecowas, forming the Alliance of Sahel States. They aim to create a sovereign, independent community focused on security and economic cooperation, including a potential common currency. The alliance opposes French involvement, seeks closer ties with Russia, and resists calls for a rapid return to civilian rule, emphasizing African sovereignty amid regional security challenges in the Sahel.
