 The countries of Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso have established a new joint force

Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso have announced the establishment of a joint force of the countries of the AES region with the aim of dealing with the problems of terrorism in the Sahel region.

But there is a question regarding the means of obtaining funds for the management of the new army based on the fact that the city is divided between the ruling army in the three countries and those who used to support them in this field.

At the end of the meeting of the commanders of the armed forces of Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso that took place in the city of Yamai, the three countries announced that they have established a joint force of the allied countries AES with the aim of increasing the fight against terrorism in the Sahel region.

General Moussa Salao Barmou, the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of Niger, said that we have reached the establishment of the AES cooperation force which will start working soon to deal with the security challenges in our region.

Security analyst Moustapha Abdoulaye considers the level of the countries of AES very important.

Joining the military force is a strategy that can give the three countries the opportunity to deal with the threats they face from inside and outside the region, said Abass Moumouni, an expert on security affairs. .

The regime changes that occurred in the countries of Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso in the last three years have caused them to be isolated, which is expected to cause obstacles in getting the funds to manage the new AES force. problems faced during the G5 Sahel era.

The new style of war that the terrorist groups of the Sahel are facing is something that has been believed that the strengthening of military measures can affect themselves, but the experts advise stakeholders on the need to focus on the activities of improving the lives of the poor.

In September 2023, the countries of Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso announced the establishment of the AES alliance, under which they declared that they will carry out cooperation activities in many fields, starting with the problems of terrorism that have plagued the entire region of Sahel today more than 10 years.
