NIAMEY (Reuters) – Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso, three West African states led by the navy, signed a confederation treaty on Saturday, underscoring their willpower to chart a joint course exterior a regional financial bloc that has been urging them to return to democratic rule.

The signing came about on the first summit of the Alliance of Sahel States (AES (NYSE:)) and indicators a more in-depth alignment between the neighbours within the insurgency-torn central Sahel. Juntas seized management in a sequence of coups within the three states in 2020-2023 and severed navy and diplomatic ties with regional allies and Western powers.

Niger’s navy chief Normal Abdourahamane Tiani described the AES summit as “the culmination of our determined common will to reclaim our national sovereignty”.

Formalising the treaty to determine a confederation confirms the rejection by Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso of the 15-member Financial Group of West African states (ECOWAS). Its signing comes a day earlier than a summit being held by ECOWAS, which had hoped to steer the three to rethink their choice in January to give up the bloc.

“Our peoples have irrevocably turned their backs on ECOWAS,” Tiani stated in a speech. “It is up to us today to make the AES Confederation an alternative to any artificial regional group by building … a community free from the control of foreign powers.”

It isn’t clear how intently the AES will harmonise political, financial and defence insurance policies because it struggles to comprise a decade-old battle with Islamist insurgents and develop economies which are among the many world’s poorest.

In March, the three states agreed to arrange a joint pressure to sort out safety threats throughout their territories.

Their finance ministers stated in November they might weigh the choice of establishing a financial union and senior officers have, to various levels, voiced help for abandoning West Africa’s CFA franc frequent foreign money.

ECOWAS has made diplomatic efforts to dissuade the three states from quitting the 50-year-old alliance. The break up will reverse a long time of regional integration and threatens a messy disentanglement from commerce and companies flows price practically $150 billion a yr.

The falling-out is linked to the ECOWAS choice to answer the trio’s coups with stringent sanctions and its unrealised risk to make use of pressure to revive constitutional rule in Niger final yr.

Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso accuse the regional bloc of abandoning its founding beliefs and giving too little help in opposition to the Islamist insurgencies which have killed hundreds of individuals and displaced over 3 million extra.

The insurance policies of the juntas have reshaped worldwide affect within the central Sahel, with the three states fostering nearer defence, diplomatic and enterprise ties with Russia on the expense of former colonial energy France, regional heavyweight Nigeria, and the USA.
