Viewing the move as a “destabilization attempt” linked to France, the AES maintains its exit is irreversible and condemns ECOWAS for advancing foreign agendas. Despite mediation efforts by Senegal and Togo, the three nations, aligning militarily and politically with Russia, remain critical of France, accusing it of undermining their sovereignty and emancipation efforts.
