Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso signed a mutual defense agreement called the “Alliance of Sahel States” on Saturday, committing all three juntas to defend each other if any of them is attacked. The pact also requires each country to help suppress armed uprisings in the others.
All three countries are ruled by military strongmen who overthrew their elected civilian governments in recent years: Mali in 2021, Burkina Faso in 2022, and Niger in July 2023. All three are landlocked former French colonies with severe jihadi problems. All three wereof a French-supported anti-terrorist group called the G5 Sahel Alliance, along with Chad and Mauritania.
The G5 Sahel Alliance was never officially dissolved, but it has been effectively defunct since Mali and Burkina Faso fell to coups and the Niger junta put the final nails in its coffin by canceling all counterterrorism agreements with France.
