The AES Is Really Building: The AES Is Building What ECOWAS Was Supposed To Build
The AES Is Really Building: The AES Is Building What ECOWAS Was Supposed To Build Kwabena Ofori Osei 4 Views • 3 months ago

The AES parliament just opened in Niamey. Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger now have a joint army, a bank, a passport and a legislature. Here's what the Alliance of Sahel States is really building after ECOWAS.
he AES parliament just opened in Niamey. Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger now have a joint army, a bank, a passport and a legislature. Here's what the Alliance of Sahel States is really building after ECOWAS.

In August 2026, forty-five deputies sat down in Niamey and opened the first confederal parliament of the Alliance of Sahel States. Fifteen from each country. Three committees: defence and security, diplomacy, development.

It looked like a small story. It isn't.

In six years, Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger went from three separate coups to a mutual defence pact, a 6,000-strong joint force, a confederal development bank, a common passport, a shared import levy, and now a parliament. That is the architecture of a state, built at speed, during a war.

But there's a constraint no resolution can fix. All three countries are landlocked. Every container and every litre of fuel still crosses a border that belongs to someone else.

In this episode we follow the evidence: what was actually built in Niamey, why Sahel security numbers finally improved in 2025, what West African port data reveals about who really holds leverage, and why Morocco is now offering the Sahel a different road to the Atlantic entirely.

No cheerleading. No dismissal. Just the receipts.

SOURCES USED

Security figures come from the Global Terrorism Index published by the Institute for Economics and Peace, and from research by the Institute for Security Studies in Pretoria. Port and corridor data comes from the African Development Bank and Ecofin Agency. Regional analysis draws on Chatham House and the International Crisis Group. Institutional details come from ECOWAS Commission statements and from Sahelian outlets including Burkina24, Le Sahel, Koaci and RTN. Reporting on Morocco's Atlantic Initiative draws on Al Jazeera and the Policy Center for the New South.

To get fire, which exists only on Earth, it took billions of years of photosynthesis – which means fire can’t exist without life. And fire and life have been shaping each other ever since.

Mind Melds and Brain Beams: The Dawn of Brain-to-Brain Communication | 2016
Mind Melds and Brain Beams: The Dawn of Brain-to-Brain Communication | 2016 Ambakisye-Okang Dukuzumurenyi 19 Views • 5 years ago

Music students download the technique of their favorite pianist or singer directly into their brains. Medical students download the skills of a seasoned surgeon or diagnostician. And each one of us routinely uploads our thoughts and memories to the digital cloud. While these scenarios still lie in the future, rudimentary versions of the necessary brain-to-brain technology exist today. But the ability to directly influence another person’s brain raises serious questions about human rights and individual freedoms. This program will present the latest technology and explore how the ethical implications of enhanced thinking go to the heart of consciousness itself.

This program is part of the Big Ideas Series, made possible with support from the John Templeton Foundation.

Our media partner for this program is Popular Science.

The Riders Of The Sahara
The Riders Of The Sahara Ambakisye-Okang Dukuzumurenyi 16 Views • 5 years ago

For the people of the Sahara, owning a horse is a mark of status, a great pride. In villages of the dry savannah, children are taught to ride horses very young. They live a free and exciting cow boy life, watching after the family’s herd. This is the case of Hisseini, 11, who is soon to participate his first Grand Fantasia, a ritual horse race in which he will represent his village. But Hisseini has no one to train him.
At the cattle market, Hisseini meets Stephanie, a French woman who manages an equestrian club. He makes friend with her right-hand man Abakar. Abakar agrees to help Hisseini and introduces him to the white man’s way of riding horses. Hisseini also meets Estelle, a 12 year old French girl, getting ready for her first jumping competition with Stephanie. In a nearby town, Moussa is working as a stable boy for Atanase, a Greek man who has trained horses and jockeys in Africa for over 20 years. Moussa dreams to become a jockey like his brother Adoum. Adoum is to run for the Ramadan competition in the town’s central square. In that race, most jockeys ride barefoot, with no saddle nor stirrups.
The big day has arrived for Estelle, Adoum and Hisseini. They have to prove to their family that they are seasoned riders of the Sahara.
