I don't have details but I know they are one of the big holdouts of French control in the region so inshallah this will lead to them becoming a new AES member when it is all said and done

I'm aware of their collaboration with western powers. I'm wondering if the Sahel Coups will inspire a spring of similar disgruntled military coups, but I'm not entirely faithful to the idea. The Sahel, specifically Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso, all suffer from massive terrorism due to the destruction of Libya, so im not sure how similar those conditions are for others.

Yeah I won't hold my breath but it would be a a hopeful outcome
