ECOWAS are western puppets they're not presenting african, we stand with AES Mali Burkina Faso and Niger
Im nigerian and stand with the AES. If i could change my citizenship, i will
This is not a fair contest – ECOWAS is a deadbeat …no chance against AES !!!
ECOWAS needs to be abolished
This is why US is desperately trying to enter Africa with Nigeria excuse.
“Alliance of Sahel States” has a very fitting acronym. Have fun being stuck under a brutal military dictatorship and none of your problems being solved!
Reminds me of the Yalta Conference 😅
On one side is the Alliance for Sahel States (AES) & on the other ECOWAS
Men in uniform who siezed power & delivering services to their people Vs puppets delivering their people to imperialist forces 😅
Soldiers pretending to be political leaders here comes another genocide.
The AES are the ones that want to break the chains of neocolonialism while ECOWAS are puppets trying to keep the chains on
The true leaders are those 3 great people
Long Live The AES!
Fu#@ Ecowas let's try thew new alliance
I’m actually surprised you called out the so called democratic leaders that have been in power for for 10 years
Crazy how we fighting for imaginary borders that wasn’t even created by us… I’m from Ghana but my family consist of Hausa, bamoshi, Ashanti, that’s all og west Africa 😂
Remember, ECOWAS countries are the ones that fought and sold each other for slave money, not surprised they are the ones sabotaging African sovereignty and wanted to subject everyone to Western neocolonialism
TFR
To all Africans, please do not go to Russia to work. You will be forcefully coerced to fight on the front lines in Ukraine and you will die.
I support three brothers alliance ❤❤Captain Ibrahim Zindabad I’m Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army ARSA Senior Captain Love from (Arakan) in Myanmar
Where was Guinea President?
Be more honest about ECOWAS Al J … ECOWAS is used as a French colonial relic that has been stealing from the good people of Africa through it's corrupted leaders and forceful use of the French currency through outright extortion and blackmail for generations and the Sahel States finally said "No More!"
Traore is 37 he was born in 1988. A young dictator.
ecowas is a zionists slave
Meanwhile.. the UN feed their people.
On the left stands Africa, on the right stands foreign powers.
African countries should disband these regional organisation's and strengthen the AU.
Somali land means all Muslim countries in Israel range of threat.
Do collective strike on Israel otherwise Israel will occupy all oil rich Arab and non Arab Muslim states.
If you don't perceive it now. Then god knows.
Make your strategy better than before face the challenge together. Teach a lesson to Israel so that Israel will never dare to do it again. But irony is that all Muslim countries are defected within themselves and not united and one against other
All oil rich Arab shaiks are so materialistic they are worse than grizzly bear they are still in hibernation . Still They don't perceive their destruction at door.
If they are not united and not taking timely action then worse will be their fate.
Be united and build collective might to counter the danger.
Im Asian living in Europe and i stand with AES. End Imperialism worldwide and EndWhyteZupremacy and most important endZi0nism which fuels all other ISMS especially terr0rism
so much narcissism to mimic trump
All three of these countries are about to be destroyed by islamists, so maybe the actual enemy within should be given a little more attention….
Long live the Resistance Movement
Long live the Revolution
Russia 🇷🇺 backed! 😮wow
We stand for Sahel Alliance and new Africa United,, time is now. From Namibia
Long live AES. Down with Ecowas.
Not one single country that’s been ruled by its military has ever been considered “great.” Look at Myanmar.
All military rule brings is instability, suffering, and violence. The previous governments in Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso were corrupt and weak, yes, but military dictatorship isn’t the solution.
These guys only have support among pan-Africanist because they’re different.
(Not to mention that Russia is the worst possible choice for an ally they could’ve made. Moscow’s only interested in leeching off of their resources).
U wanna know something funny two of these leaders were trained by western military advisors.
Puppets vs revolutionaries
You can't compare the Honorable AES and Traore to evil, corrupt, sellout tyrants like Watawa and laughable tools of western neo-colonialism like Ecowas. Al Jazeera has been spreading biased, fake news and propaganda for quite some time.
Running white influence out, ushering solidarity between AFRICANS in
"Enemy within." Focus on extremist Islamist armed groups, then focus outside of the state or bloc. Because when the house on fire, then putting fingers at other houses can be a distraction, not a resolution.
You said a coup?why are you lying ? this is misleading you audience
