ECOWAS: The toxic ex? The West African organization, constrained by realpolitik, is preparing to lift sanctions against Niger, a sign of a major turnaround in its strategy vis-à-vis the Sahel. After brandishing the threat of economic sanctions, ECOWAS seems to be in retreat. Faced with the resistance of the Sahel countries, grouped within the Alliance of Sahel States (AES), the West African organization has no other choice but to compose. According to Jeune Afrique, ECOWAS is preparing to lift “soon” the economic sanctions weighing on Niger. This decision, which should be made official in the coming days, sounds like an admission of powerlessness on the part of ECOWAS in the face of the rise of the AES. This turnaround by ECOWAS could be a sign of a desire for dialogue and cooperation with the AES. Has the West African organization finally understood that the solution to the Sahelian crisis does not come through confrontation, but through the search for a compromise? (AES info media)
