The AES States

In the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, Colonel Assimi Goïta took control of Mali and put an end to France’s idiotic practices, starting in May 2021. Burkina Faso’s neighbors followed suit in January 2022. The first military coup of 2022 was interrupted by that of Captain Ibrahim Traoré in September of the same year. In the months that followed, Burkina Faso and Mali enjoyed a fruitful and unprecedented level of cooperation. However, at the Army 2023 international forum in Moscow, General Tchiani Abdourahamane seized power in Niger. On their return from Moscow, the two senior officers lent their support to their predecessor from Niger, then took advantage of the opportunity to proceed with the formation of the Alliance of AES States on September 16, 2023. Since that date, the security of the zone has been assured, and with promising results, despite the simultaneous attacks generated by the idea of minting money and their joint exit from ECOWAS. This reaction by the ESA states seems to have fundamentally affected France’s economic and budgetary system.
