And, in this video, Nigerien spokesperson and minister @colonelabdraman (X) laid out why. The move follows two incidents last week: Firstly, Ukrainian ambassador to Senegal Yurii Pyvovarov wrote a Facebook comment in support of a Tuareg rebel group and jihadists notorious for attacking Malian civilians and military forces. The embassy has since deleted the video he commented on. Secondly, a Ukrainian Defence Ministry intelligence agency press representative, Andriy Yusov, appeared to boast about the attack on Ukrainian television and stated Ukraine had supplied the rebel forces with intelligence. While not yet joining its neighbours in cutting diplomatic ties, Burkina Faso has issued a press release condemning Ukraine’s support of terrorism in Africa’s Sahel region. All three African states announced they’d depart the Western-supported Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and recently established the Alliance of Sahel States (AES) confederation, which seeks to eventually create a federated state in the arid region they occupy south of the Sahara Desert. As a confederation, they share a collective policy on defence, economics and foreign affairs. For years after the 2011 NATO-led invasion that helped oust Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, a network of terrorist paramilitaries took hold across Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, Nigeria, Cameroon, Chad and beyond. Western militaries occupying the region had not countered the violence, with the Global Terrorism Index calling the Sahel the world’s most terror-ridden area, counting 43 per cent of global terrorism deaths in 2022. Considering the impact on West Africa, do you think leaders from the AES and ECOWAS should take action to publicly condemn Ukraine’s support for these terrorist organisations? Should they cut diplomatic ties and close Ukrainian embassies, too? Let us know in the comments. --------------------SOCIAL----------------------- FACEBOOK - INSTAGRAM - TIKTOK - @africanstream TWITTER -
