As we wish sustained stability in Congo, the ECOWAS must pay attention to what is happening in Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso. Largely, these guys are creating another union, and that can punt the ECOWAS mission: “In a historic move, Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger have finalized their plan to form a confederation, officially marking their shift away from former colonial ruler France and toward closer ties with Russia. “
The African Union must call an emergency meeting and address these issues since it does appear that ECOWAS does not have any leverage over these guys; yes, it is all “coups” whether via rigged electoral pens or ambushed presidential guards with guns, they’ve maintained!
Importantly, these khaki men must understand that a bird which leaves the ground to perch on an ant-hill is still very much on the ground. Indeed, flipping from France to Russia is largely the same thing. Leaders should lead and stop another neocolonialism of visions in Africa.
