Senegal hosted a conference on Saturday, June 1 under the theme"The Alliance of Sahel States, a new platform for Senegal 's regional integration", a development that could have potential implications on the unity and cohesion among ECOWAS Member States," according to diplomatic sources.
"The current situation in the areas of economy and security" would be addressed, diplomatic sources said, noting that Senegal"has a mutually beneficial economic and trade partnership with the countries of the region.Junta leaders in the two countries, along with their counterparts in Niger, set up what they called Sahel Alliance States last September and announced their countries' withdrawal from ECOWAS in January this year.
Analysts consider this confirmation that the soldiers are out for power grab rather than their professed salvation of the population. Assuming Faye is working on behalf of ECOWAS, his government's hosting of a conference with AES/ASS member States as a group could be interpreted as a recognition of the group and this could pose a diplomatic problem for his administration and the cohesion/unity of ECOWAS.
The AES/ASS countries have established Joint Forces to fight terrorism and armed groups while sharing intelligence, and Senegalese Prime Minister, Ousmane Sonko is quoted as saying, that he"shared the visions of the AES/ASS leaders and was ready to support them."There was a problem processing your submission.
