Pan-African Activist on AES: A Step Towards Sovereignty

Alliance des Etats du Sahel: A Measured Approach to African Sovereignty The Alliance des Etats du Sahel (AES), a confederation of Burkina Faso, Mali, and Guinea, represents a significant step toward greater African sovereignty. However, the path to true integration is fraught with challenges, as highlighted by Pan-African activist Nathalie Yamb in a recent interview. "I initially laughed at the fake news about my supposed ministerial appointment," Yamb stated, "because it was clearly false. However, the messages I received on WhatsApp, even from people I hadn't spoken to in years, revealed a deeper issue: the attempt to divert attention from the real progress of the AES." Yamb emphasizes the importance of a phased approach, stating that creating a unified currency requires careful planning and consideration of various factors. She points to the successful implementation of a shared flag and anthem as examples of the AES's progress. Yamb also stresses the need for communication and building relationships with other African organizations. The AES's efforts are a testament to the resilience and determination of the African people. Their commitment to sovereignty and prosperity provides hope for a more unified and independent future for the continent.
