Military leaders of Niger, Mali, and Burkina Faso have announced their withdrawal from Ecowas, forming the Alliance of Sahel States. They aim to create a sovereign, independent community focused on security and economic cooperation, including a potential common currency. The alliance opposes French involvement, seeks closer ties with Russia, and resists calls for a rapid return to civilian rule, emphasizing African sovereignty amid regional security challenges in the Sahel.

It is disrespectful to continue calling them "Junta." They are all presidents of their respective countries. They got there thru a freedom revolution against French neocolonialism.
