Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso, three West African Sahel nations ruled by military juntas, signed a security pact on Saturday promising to come to the aid of each other in case of any rebellion or external aggression.
Ah yes, “we will judge how they rule themselves and demand they behave to our liking as part of them ruling themselves” said the colonists who dominated and subjugated 80% of the humans on the planet for 600 years.
It’s absolutely not my place to tell them how to rule themselves. When you look at countries in former colonized regions (South America, Africa, MENA) you will see that they came up with quite diverse systems post-independence. For example, in the parts of Somalia that arent a failed state, you have an elected parliament that still is based on tribe membership.
But deciding on how to govern should encompass all people within that country.
It can’t until you kick out the Europeans once and for all, because as long as the Europeans still wield influence, it’s impossible for the masses to have their interests promoted.
Niger is ditching ECOWAS for the security from other states that recently underwent coups. It’s hard to see how this is in the interest of the common person.
Just because France is against the coup doesn’t mean it’s good for Nigeriens.
It’s called a purge. They’ve tried working within the Western rules based order for decades. It’s not working to get the West out.

Good on them for sticking to an Africa for Africans. Get the west out, let the people govern themselves.
Ah yes, “let people govern themselves” said the people who undemocraticly govern the countries without any legitimization after couping
