Is ECOWAS losing control of West Africa? In this video we break down the growing tensions between the regional bloc and the new alliance formed by the military governments of Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger. After a wave of coups across the Sahel, these countries have begun forming their own political and military partnership—challenging the authority of the long-standing regional organization Economic Community of West African States.
For decades, ECOWAS has played a major role in maintaining political stability and economic cooperation across West Africa. But now, the emergence of the Alliance of Sahel States is raising serious questions about the future of regional power, security, and sovereignty in the Sahel.
In this discussion, we explore:
Why Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger are breaking away from ECOWAS
The political and military tensions reshaping West Africa
The growing influence of global powers in the Sahel
Whether ECOWAS is losing its grip on the region
What this shift could mean for the future of African regional alliances
This geopolitical shift could reshape the balance of power across West Africa and influence everything from regional security to economic development.
