What’s behind the Sahel’s wave of coups? | The Take


What does the wave of coups in the Sahel mean for its people? Since 2020, Central and West Africa have faced more than 10 coup attempts. Meanwhile, global powers are shifting, as Russia eclipses France and the United States in the region’s geopolitics. In a region where people are demanding security and dignity, what could lie ahead for the…

  1. You all are anti-Traore, why can't you all show your faces, the West have long overplayed their time in Africa. you all are a bunch of segregationists, you all want to eliminate those Africans from their own home, just to exploit the land. but there is a big surprise coming up for France, England and especially the United States of America.

  2. Propaganda again. People with their heavy western accent suddenly become the specialists for the Sahel. Same old BS like Lybia, Afghanistan, Ivory coast, Iraq, North Korea. Time will be read by all westerners.

  3. The one thing that these countries have in common is that they are all ex- French colonies. Those countries are rich in natural resources. The French loot those resources and take billions of dollars out of Africa yearly. France keeps confusion in those places so that France can continue to loot its resources.

  4. It is important to acknowledge one of the speakers remarks as to African problems can only be resolved by Africans.
    Also, the consideration of the Sahel youths yarning for real affective change whether through coup d’età to attain their aspirations is important.
    A point that was made clear is the fact that the AES countries are done with their shackles and are partnering with countries that are anti imperialism which a clear message.
    Despite the shortage of water and food these countries have demonstrated resilience and stayed focused to their revolution respectively and are winning the real war on terrorism in the region.
    Compare to when the AES was occupied by various western countries.
    Aid and commerce embargo has not deterred the AES neither Ecowas sanctions.

    It is down with imperialism!!!
    A new dawn for the Sahel Alliance.

  5. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

    The Blackman KICKED YOU OUT, so you can only report from Afar.

    This means Pan Africanism is Thriving on the Sahel region.

    Inform your audience, but the Blackman space is being reclaimed by sweat and blood.

    80 Million Pan Africanist
    50,000+ Pan Africanist Military Men
    1 Million+ Pan Africanist Volunteer Militia

    They ONLY just begun

  6. What are you even talking about ?this is not news but a badly built insulting propaganda against the people Fighting for their rights. Now that France is in difficulties, you all of a sudden remembered you are a so called news channel. Shame on you for doing this. Shame shame shame

  7. Why are you not welcoming the Lebannes refugees in Arab countries? Instead, it is Africa that is welcoming them and it is also Africa that fought for Palestinians in the international criminal courts. The least you can do is show respect and appreciation for Africa and stop with your usual racist Arab rhetoric against Africa.

  8. What’s behind the wave of Arab Islamist jihadist attacks on the innocent people of the Sahel and stealing their gold? That is the correct question you should be asking.😒

  9. Is AJ Plus more Western focused? That can be the only explanation for the way they’re framing the Sahel coups. The people greatly support Traore and his peers

  10. Who does al j work for? These conversations with white men. There is video already of how much the people love the new leadership. The citizens run to embrace them like the 2nd coming of jesus or Micheal Jackson.. In Niger Mohammad Bazoum (the former president) should be tried for treason and when convicted cost his life

  11. I"'m from Burkina Faso, it is a misleading information, I don't know why,? We love Ibraham Traoré. Now we have regained more than 72% of your land. Respectfully

  12. Nikolas Haqq is bringing stories from unreliable sources with an agenda.This guy is clueless,lack credability and not worth listening to.
    He need to spend time with the natives and get their perspective. At the moment Burkina, Niger and Mali has made great stride in getting rid of corruption and regaining large portions of land that was lost to islamic terrorist under previous leaders.

  13. They keep talking about "deteriorating security"and this may as well be France 24. Pure anti Sahel propaganda. Ibrahim is loved by most people and is handling the security situation well. Better than France who is arming the terrorists. They just severely increased their wheat production by 5 and made Burkina at top 3 tomatoes producer. Traore has only been in power two years
