Burkina Faso, Mali And Niger Look To Form A Confederation by HeatSeeker(m): 4:01pm On Dec 03, 2023
The foreign ministers of military-ruled Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger on Friday recommended creating a confederation as part of a long-term goal of uniting the West African neighbours within a federation.

Mali and Burkina, ruled by juntas who seized power in coups in 2020 and 2022 respectively, rushed to back Niger’s military rulers when they ousted elected president Mohamed Bazoum in July.

They created a pact, the Alliance of Sahel States, setting up closer economic ties and mutual defence assistance if the sovereignty or territorial integrity of a member is threatened.

In a joint statement following a two-day meeting in Mali’s capital Bamako, the foreign ministers spoke of the “great potential for peace, stability, diplomatic strength and economic development that a strengthened political alliance offers”.

The ministers… guided by the ambition to ultimately achieve a federation uniting Burkina, Mali and Niger recommend the creation of a confederation to the heads of state of the Alliance of Sahel States,” the statement said.

Malian Foreign Minister Abdoulaye Diop said the conclusions will be submitted to their heads of state, who are due to meet in Bamako at an unspecified date.

The military regimes have also formed close ties against international pressure for a swift return to civilian rule and long-running jihadist insurgencies raging in the three countries.

The Bamako meeting aimed to flesh out the workings of the new alliance, with the ministers emphasising the importance of diplomacy, defence and development “to consolidate political and economic integration”.

The countries’ economy and finance ministers last month recommended creating a stabilisation fund, an investment bank and a committee that would study an economic and monetary union, the statement added.

They are not doing this for the good and benefit of their people but to preserve and protect their military regimes from ECOWAS and other external forces.

you are the one talking rubbish Mr man.

Why didn't they form this federation under democratic government through referendum where the people will at least have a say, you simply cannot see the the other side of this.

I don't have problem with African countries coming together, but it should be properly done by the people, not military juntas


What do you think will happen if these countries eventually return back to democracy?

Of what benefit is it to their people? Nothing just to ensure the military stay in power.
Of what importance is it to the world economy? Nothing. The three are landlocked and more of deserts
Can the three of them combined withstand Egyptian, Nigerian or Algerian army firepower? No.
They are just greedy misguided, power-hungry military boys.

These ones are not at peace when divided, it is when they join together that they are hoping for prosperous nation, bunch of clueless people, they are simply inviting more divideness to themselves, I only pity the citizens that's hoping for a better future, Nigeria will close its borders any day their dream comes true.

Confederation? Na fight go scatter them cheesy

Few months ago, the headless mob were supporting miltary coup in these three poverty striken countries.

They thought our decent military will replicate same, grab power from Tinubu and handover to Obi.

A super country? I’m all for it. Dismantle the geographic lines the white man created. The problem is war; African leaders are rapacious. The most advanced nation will rule over the others. Ethnic cleaning will also take place against tribes which never had contact with each other before the merge.

It is a fantastic idea. It is the only way they break the stranglehold that France has had on them. Watch as the French economy collapses.

What has any democratic government done in any of the African countries. Nigeria for example it has only been the military that created all the states in Nigeria and stayed. No yeye democratic government can even create a local government.
