Sahel Formalises "African Nato" in Rare Meet | Firstpost Africa | N18G

Military leaders of Mali and Niger have met in Bamako to formalise a new regional alliance, with Burkina Faso’s leader set to join them. The three are holding a 48-hour summit of the Alliance of Sahel States, or AES, focusing on defence, development, and counter-terror cooperation. The meeting follows the launch of a 5,000-strong joint force modeled on NATO, operating outside ECOWAS structures. Formed after military coups and a break with the West, the bloc signals a unified push for regional security and political autonomy.
