AES Solidarity

AES solidarity

The AES Solidarity refers to the widespread support and collective backing for the Alliance of Sahel States (AES), a confederation formed by Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso. This solidarity expresses opposition to external threats such as imperialism, neocolonial interference, and attempts at destabilization by Western powers and regional actors like ECOWAS. Calls for solidarity emphasize public declarations, coordinated political actions, and educational efforts to defend the AES’s sovereignty and its anti-imperialist stance. AES Solidarity has manifested in mass protests and demonstrations across West Africa and the continent, supporting AES member states and their leadership against coup attempts and foreign intervention. The alliance is seen as a symbol of African dignity, resistance, and the pursuit of economic and political independence from former colonial powers. Recent actions include Niger sending over 4 million liters of petroleum products to Mali, demonstrating practical support within AES countries. The solidarity campaign urges activists and organizations worldwide to amplify the AES’s message, mobilize for commemorative actions on significant dates, and resist neocolonialism while supporting Africa’s self-determination and unity. This movement highlights the AES as a new chapter in African resistance and liberation from external control. Niger delivers over 4 million liters of petroleum products to Mali, Cabinet statement According to a report by the Malian Council of Ministers, at least 82 tanker trucks were delivered. The shipment is valued at 3.3 billion CFA francs (US$5.8 million). A “significant contingent” of AES forces escorted the tanker trucks from Niamey to Bamako, the statement said. To reduce long lines at gas stations, the Malian government last week shortened customs clearance times for fuel from 72 to 24 hours. Bamako and surrounding cities have been blockaded by the al-Qaeda-affiliated terrorist group JNIM since September. More than one hundred tanker trucks have been set on fire during this period. @https://ipa-aip.org/notes/call-for-solidarity-with-the-peoples-of-aes/ @https://peoplesdispatch.org/2025/04/30/hands-off-aes-solidarity-protests-sweep-west-africa-in-defense-of-burkina-faso-and-captain-traore/ @https://liberationnews.org/two-years-of-alliance-of-sahel-states/ @https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alliance_of_Sahel_States @https://en.sputniknews.africa/20251127/1080891704.html @https://sautiyaujamaa.wordpress.com/2025/09/18/tanzanian-socialist-formations-solidarity-statement-with-the-alliance-of-sahel-states-aes-its-leadership-and-its-people/
