ECOWAS in Crisis! Togo Joins Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger in the AES Alliance

A new chapter is unfolding in West Africa. A shift that could redefine power, security, and influence in the region. For years, the Economic Community of West African States—ECOWAS—stood as the dominant force, binding nations together under a single framework. But cracks have formed. A different path is emerging. And now, Togo has made a decision that could change everything.
This is not just another policy move. It’s a statement. A realignment of alliances. A deliberate step toward a future that challenges the status quo.
Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger have already walked this road. In January 2025, they turned their backs on ECOWAS and forged their path—the Alliance of Sahel States, or AES. It was a bold act of defiance—a rejection of external control. And now, Togo is preparing to follow in their footsteps.
