⁣Watch this video as Firstpost examines how ⁣The Confederal Parliament of the Alliance of Sahel States (AES) officially launched its inaugural session on August 24, 2026 in Niamey, Niger. This event marks a major transition for the bloc—comprising Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger—evolving from a primarily military and security pact into a highly structured political and economic union.

The move follows the creation of a joint military force, a development bank and common identity documents, while the three nations have also moved away from ECOWAS. But the new Sahel project faces major tests, from dependence on coastal trade routes to the persistent threat from JNIM and Islamic State Sahel. With Russia deepening ties with the bloc and China watching its economic potential, the AES could become an increasingly important geopolitical force in Africa.

Watch this video as Firstpost explains how Niger snubbed France by granting uranium mining permits to state-owned firms. Niger’s military government is accelerating its push for resource nationalism by revoking mining rights of Western corporations and transferring them to state-controlled entities. In a major setback for France, Niamey awarded the In Azaoua uranium permit to TSUMCO SA—a new state enterprise formed after Niger seized control of the SOMAÏR mine from French nuclear giant Orano. Meanwhile, the Madaouela I permit was reassigned to the Madaouela Mining Company following the license revocation of Canadian firm GoviEx Uranium. These bold economic shifts coincide with escalating geopolitical tensions across the Sahel. Niger, alongside Mali and Burkina Faso under the Alliance of Sahel States, has cut ties with former colonial power France and forged closer security partnerships with Russia. Tensions reached a boiling point after a deadly assault at Niamey’s international airport, leading military leader General Abdourahmane Tchiani to accuse Western powers of backing regional instability. Alyson Le Grange brings you more on this story on Firstpost Africa.

How many foreign nationals do you think are incarcerated in South Africa's prison system? Of this number, how many do you think are Nigerians? If you have been following popular public conversations in South Africa, you would think the numbers should be in the tens or hundreds of thousands - and you would be hilariously wrong.

Using the actual data to make the point, @Big_Mck explores the anatomy of how psy-ops work in Africa by constructing what sound like believable narratives out of complete fabrication and fiction. At a time when the US Africa Command has openly announced the launch of its "Operation Drongo" psy-op targeting Africa with a sophisticated Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference (FIMI) attack, it is more important than ever before for Africans to learn to scrutinise whatever information they allow to get into their ears and eyeballs.

Kenya’s Parliament Blocks UK Defence Deal Over Military Jurisdiction

Kenya and the UK are currently locked in a standoff over their defense deal, with Kenya’s parliament refusing to fully sign off until they gain the legal right to prosecute British soldiers for crimes committed on Kenyan soil.

Fueled by years of public anger over unresolved cases—most notably the murder of Agnes Wanjiru—this stalemate exposed a fundamental question: can a security partnership truly work without equal accountability?
