Who would have thought that when the proposal to form the Alliance of the Sahel State was first launched in February, ECOWAS kicked against the idea and expressed its dissatisfaction with the initiative? Well, it shouldn't be too surprising because many experts see the alliance which was finally established on September 16th between Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso as the beginning of the end of ECOWAS. In an exclusive interview with Sputnik Africa, the leader of the alliance and the youngest president in the world, Captain Ibrahim Traore lambasted ECOWAS regarding their attitude and response towards the Alliance. He emphasized that the attitude of ECOWAS towards the Alliance doesn't show unity among Africans which is something Africa desperately needs to advance. In his own words “"Africa must manage to unite, the more we are united, the more effective we are,". He then added that “This initiative was not appreciated by ECOWAS, which sanctions Burkina, and whose treatment of Burkina Faso’s problems is, according to Traore, "with variable geometry". Traore went further to say that Burkina Faso and Mali are already weighing many elements, especially in the economic field, and the defense agreement between the two countries has already been sealed. "We do everything together, we train together, we fight together,", he said.
