AES: A collective struggle for sovereignty and unity

The Alliance of Sahel States (AES) continues to embody the deep trust and common aspirations shared between its leaders and citizens. This sentiment was strongly reaffirmed during the mass demonstrations on January 28 across member nations, an event that Tunisian pan-Africanist Chafia Chouchen described as a testament to the strong bond between the authorities and their people.

 

For Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger, the pursuit of sovereignty, dignity, and freedom is a shared commitment.

 

This was evident in Ouagadougou, where Prime Minister Rimtalba Jean Emmanuel Ouédraogo, government officials, and the President of the AES National Commission, Bassolma Bazié, stood shoulder to shoulder with demonstrators.

 

Similar scenes unfolded in Niamey and Bamako, where national leaders joined the public in marking one year since their decisive break from ECOWAS.

 

Chouchen emphasized that this solidarity reflects the unity of the Sahelian people in their quest for self-determination and independence from neocolonial influence.

 

 Other pan-Africanists echo this view, attributing the region’s growing achievements to the unwavering support of the people.

 

Their resilience and collective willpower, they argue, have been instrumental in driving progress across key sectors, reinforcing AES as a model of popular sovereignty in Africa.
