Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso Launch a NATO-Style Military Alliance | Firstpost Africa | N18G

Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger have established the United Force of the Alliance of Sahel States, modelled after NATO, to combat Islamist insurgency and terrorism. Launched at an air base in Bamako, the alliance comprises 5,000 troops and will utilize combined air power, intelligence sharing, and coordinated ground operations. Commanded by Burkinabe General Daouda Traore, its headquarters is in Niamey, Niger. The alliance aims to assert control over regional security, criticizing past French military interventions. Both Mali and Burkina Faso have withdrawn from ECOWAS and the International Criminal Court, amid growing international pressure, as terrorist violence escalates in the region.
