BREAKING: AFRICA JUST NARROWLY ESCAPED WAR — AES PRESIDENT SPEAKS

Video Description

The Alliance of Sahel States (AES) was not created out of ideology — it was born out of an imminent war threat. In this exclusive interview, the President of the Transition and current President of the AES reveals that a military invasion of Niger by other African states had already been approved — and that only last-minute, high-level intervention stopped West Africa from sliding into a full regional war. For the first time, we hear how direct phone confrontations, behind-the-scenes pressure, and geopolitical interests collided — forcing Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger to formalize a collective defense pact that has now evolved into a full confederation. This interview goes beyond headlines. It exposes: • Why AES was formed in urgency, not theory • How collective defense became inevitable • Why terrorism in the Sahel is now a geopolitical proxy war • How Russia, Turkey, and China entered the equation • Why AES insists on speaking with one diplomatic voice • And why the confederation now considers itself irreversible At a time when narratives about the Sahel are dominated by external voices, this conversation lays out the internal logic, the strategic calculations, and the stakes as seen from inside the presidential palace. This is not a defense piece. This is not propaganda. This is a geopolitical reality check. 👇 Drop your thoughts in the comments: Was Africa on the brink of war without knowing it?
