What does Burkina Faso changes, Mali and Niger Leave the Western Bloc of Africa?

Three countries under military rules have officially left the West African Regional Bloc Ecowas after more than a year of diplomatic stresses.

Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger’s withdrawal is a tremendous blow to Ecowsas, as they think it is the most important region of Africa in 50 years.

Scattered Ecows declined after the three countries that require to restore diplomatic rule.

On Wednesday ECOWAS said that Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger “open” open doors “, even with their BLOC, the Sahel State Alliance (AES His Sigles).

Ecowas – for the economic community of the Western African community (20075 was founded in West Africa to improve economic and political integration.

Before shaking Wednesday, Bloc had 15 members, including States like Nigeria, Ghana, Côte d’Ivoire and Senegal.

Today the citizens of the ecowas are now entitled to live and work to all Member States, and the goods can be freely circulated.

Ecowas and three sahel countries have been highly stressed by the military in 2023, 2022 in Burkina Faso, 2020.

After the State of Niger, ECOWAS did not impose penalties in the country, such as border closures, a flight-free area, for all commercial flights and freeze of central banking goods.

Ecows also threatened to extend his forces to Niger to restore the democratic standard.

But this hard line strengthened the solution of three juntas.

Mali and Burkina Faso criticized Ecowas ‘inhuman’ penalties and swore to defend Niger to defend Bloc.

After ECOWAS stopped, he warned that three states would retire a year earlier, finding the timeline established for states that decide to leave blocks.

Since then, negotiations between Ecowas and Boards have been made, but they failed.

Three countries accuse them to be close to the western powers of Ecowas and turned to Russia.

Depending on the countries of departure, they will now have a greater independence as well as independence from a foreign agenda.

But the analysts say that Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso may be outside the blocks – Economics depend on the residents of West Africa.

While Eclows shows the conditions of the future relationship with three countries, he says that Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso will continue to know all the passports and identity cards held by citizens.

The countries will also be left in the Bloc’s free trade scheme.

President AES, President Assimi Goïta Mali, said last January, the right of citizens of Ecowas to enter the “new Bloc”, circulating, living and leaving the right. “It would be maintained”.

Illyasu Gadu, international issues based on the Abuja capital of Nigeria and the media consultant: “Three Junta leaders have taken steps:” Yes, we want to keep our relationships. We will do it. Don’t close our borders’ because they need to realize they do that, they would shoot “.

West African observers are also worried that withdrawals will worsen the safety in the region. Sahel – Saharan Sahara Middle Arid region, which includes countries on three sides – is full of jihadist insurgence and now is almost half of all the deaths of terrorism around the world “, a The United Nations said in April.

Ecrows Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger support fighting against jihadists, but this help can be rejected again, the observers can be afraid.

Although joints receive Russian weapons and mercenaries, militants continue to affect heavy dead in both civilians and armed forces.

Ecows will lose 446 million people 76 million and more than half of its total geographical land.

There are also concerns about withdrawal, it will weaken the unity and cooperation in the region.

The split crisis “Ecowshas has often worsened by people’s expectations,” Ulf Laessing, head of the Sahel Program of the Konrad Adenuer Foundation, said Related press.

“Three states decided to leave Bloc, it seems even more losers in that conflict.”

On Tuesday, some of the capitals of the three capitals of the country were taken to the streets to celebrate the retirement.

But not everyone supports the decisions of the joint.

The Niger Omar Hama said that the three countries wanted to be at Ecowas at the same time in terms of AES.

“I’d like to overcome their differences because we have a common space, because we have historical similarities and equal economic realities,” BBC said.

Harember, a journalist who lives in Mali, is concerned about the changes that the change will eventually lead to administrative and economic members of three countries.

“However, alliances of Sahel States (AES) can lead to benefits for us, it would be a great thing,” he said.

Zabeirou lived in the capital of Zabeirou Bamako, “Ecowas has no power, westerners who decide the leaders of Ecowas. Yes, I am very happy with the decision.”

In Ouagadougou, in the capital of Burkina Faso, Cisse Kabore said BBC wanted to stay in the Eco, now the region will not meet sooner. “

Last month, Ecowas said Niger, Burkina Faso and Mali will give a period of six months of grace.

However, at the press conference on Wednesday, Ecowsas Committee Omar Alieu Touraay said: “Any state can decide to return to the community at any time.”

Ecowas’s output and making the alliance, three countries said they will start circulating new AES passports on Wednesday.

They have also decided to combine the strength to strengthen the three military units, to deal with the violence of jihadists who have been years old.
