Togo is considering the possibility of joining the Alliance of Sahel States (AES), as indicated by the Togolese Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Asked about potential membership of the Sahel States Alliance, Minister Robert Dussey said, “It’s the decision of the President of the Republic”, adding that he believes “it’s not impossible”.
He also encouraged people to ask Togolese citizens if they are in favor of joining the Sahel States Alliance, suggesting that their response would probably be affirmative.
By strengthening ties with Togo, the landlocked countries of the Alliance of Sahel States could gain access to the sea via the Togolese coast and the port of Lomé, facilitating the import and export of goods.
Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso, governed by military regimes opposed to France, have announced their intention to withdraw from ECOWAS, believing it to be manipulated by their former colonial power.
