Sahel region has become a focal point of polarization between pro-Western states and nations seeking independence from neo-colonial influence.
Mali , Burkina Faso and Niger formalized their partnership by founding the “Confederation of Sahel States ” ( AES ) The timing of the announcement, just a day before the ECOWAS summit in Nigeria , highlighted the growing divide in West Africa .
For the U.S. and EU , this development signals a complex geopolitical shift.
Russia is intensifying its grip on the Sahel , consolidating its influence across several key states.
This ambitious strategy sets the stage for a potential clash with other global powers, as Moscow seeks to expand its reach.
The next front in this geopolitical contest could very well emerge along the coastal states of West Africa , where the stakes are high.
