ECOWAS DOES FRANCE'S DIRTY WORK IN BENIN Days after Benin's thwarted anti-imperialist coup of 7 December, much about the event remains shrouded in mystery. But what is clear is that President Patrice Talon's pro-Western regime remains firmly in power, propped up by occupying forces from Nigeria and at least...

DAVID HUNDEYIN SLAMS FRENCH-NIGERIAN ATTACK ON BENIN On the morning of December 7, elements of Benin's military took to the airwaves to announce the overthrow of Western-backed President Patrice Talon. Calling themselves the "Military Committee for Refoundation," they condemned Talon for imprisoning his opponents and allowing the elite to control "all vital sectors of the economy." The coup leaders also criticised the deteriorating security situation in northern Benin, which has become a base for Al Qaeda-affiliated insurgents attacking neighbouring Niger and Burkina Faso. Much like their neighbours in the Alliance of Sahel States (AES), the people of Benin spontaneously took to the streets in celebration. However, their joy was short-lived. Within hours, Nigeria — Benin's much larger eastern neighbour — began launching airstrikes on the capital, Cotonou, in explicit coordination with France, Benin's former coloniser. The rest of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) quickly rallied behind the Talon regime. This emerging anti-imperialist rebellion was swiftly crushed, and Cotonou remains under indefinite foreign occupation. In an interview, Nigerian journalist and founder of West Africa Weekly, David Hundeyin, spoke with Ahmed Kaballo of Sovereign Media about these shocking developments. Hundeyin drew a stark contrast between ECOWAS' indifferent response to the self-coup by Western-backed President Umaro Sissoco Embaló in Guinea-Bissau less than two weeks earlier. He noted that a successful anti-imperialist uprising in Benin would have provided the landlocked AES with a crucial connection to the Atlantic Ocean. Lastly, Hundeyin reflected on the serious implications of these events for Nigeria's domestic politics and international standing. He pointed out that the intervention was blatantly illegal under Nigeria's own constitution and exposed the government's hypocritical posturing in response to Donald Trump's threats. He concluded by discussing the unofficial rivalry between France and the United States for hegemony in the region, highlighting how Nigerian President Bola Tinubu positions himself as a compliant ally to both imperial powers.

David Hundeyin: 🇧🇯 Benin Coup Shows 🇫🇷 Macron’s “Geopolitical Instruction” to 🇳🇬 Nigeria Investigative journalist David Hundeyin warned that the recent coup attempt in Benin is a flashpoint for a rising wave of political upheaval, sovereignism, anti-colonialism, and Pan-Africanism across West Africa, revealing Paris’s direct influence over Abuja’s military and underscoring Benin’s strategic role as a de facto French staging ground. He described the trend as “definitely not slowing down,” directly challenging “the perceived neo-colonial influence of France.” Its occurrence in a traditional French stronghold, he cautioned, signals that no country is immune: “If it can happen somewhere that the French would have thought they had locked down… then what’s to say that it’s not going to happen in 🇨🇮 Côte d'Ivoire or in 🇬🇦 Gabon?” On Nigeria and ECOWAS’s rapid intervention, Hundeyin dismissed the narrative of “helping the government,” asserting that the operation followed a “geopolitical instruction… delivered from Paris to Abuja that under no circumstances must this coup be allowed to succeed.” He described the alignment as unprecedented: “The firewall has been taken down” between France and Nigeria, giving Paris direct leverage over Abuja’s military. ECOWAS, he said, served only as “a sort of geopolitical rubber stamp” to legitimize a decision made in France. Hundeyin spelled out France’s strategic imperative in Benin, describing the country as a “de facto staging point” for monitoring the anti-French Sahelian Alliance (AES)—specifically the bordering nations of 🇧🇫 Burkina Faso and 🇳🇪 Niger. The stakes, he stressed, were existential: if Benin fell, the landlocked AES “automatically has one of the busiest ports in West Africa, which changes the entire dynamic completely.” With the Beninese president silent amid ongoing airstrikes, Hundeyin described the situation as a volatile “mopping up” operation by authorities. He concluded that the rebellion remains persistent: “Clearly, there is at least a faction of the Beninese military which is not on board with a return to the status quo. This is not something that we have heard the last of.”

NIGERIA IS NOW DIRECTLY UNDER US STATE CAPTURE BREAKING: U.S. Embassy in Nigeria Now Directly Coordinates With NSA’s Office To Arrest Nigerian Citizens Over Criticism of Israel, USA In a stunning development, the United States Embassy in Nigeria has established a direct coordination framework with the Office of the National Security Adviser to monitor the social media activities of Nigerian citizens, directly recommending individuals for arrest and prosecution based on their online criticism of Israel and the United States. Under this framework, exclusively revealed to Sovereign Media, two Nigerian social media users, Sani Buhari and Abubakar Adamu, were recently arrested by the Department of State Security Services (DSS) and charged in court for posts on X that were critical of Israel's genocide in Palestine, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and US president Donald Trump. Buhari was eventually released, but only after posting a clearly forced apology to the US Embassy on his X handle by the DSS, while Adamu remains in custody. Since Bola Ahmed Tinubu took power in Nigeria in 2023, West Africa's erstwhile regional pillar, whose foreign policy still officially follows an "Africa First" doctrine, has increasingly begun operating as a satellite extension of western powers, including France and the US. For example, in December 2025, during a coup attempt in Benin, Tinubu deployed Nigerian air and ground forces to quell the attempt on the orders of French president Emmanuel Macron. The escalating pattern of policy decisions and geopolitical moves locking Nigeria into multiple security partnerships with western governments is raising the real possibility of the country being retrofitted into a vassal state without the ability to set its own internal security priorities, with foreign interests dictating what its citizens are allowed to say. If Nigeria's compromised foreign policy posture is not addressed quickly, Africa could see one of its most important countries abandon its historic role as a pillar of Pan-African support and turn into the continent's most dangerous vassal state.

'ALLIANCE OF SAHEL STATES IS A BEACON OF HOPE' The historic Conference in Solidarity with the Peoples of the Sahel took place 19-21 November in Niamey, the capital of Niger. Hundreds of participants gathered at the Mahatma Gandhi International Conference Centre from popular movements and organisations across Africa, Asia, Latin America and the United States to express solidarity with the people of the Sahel, an arid region south of the Sahara Desert. In a powerful speech during the event, Jonis Ghedi Alasow, the executive director of Pan-Africanism Today, coordinator of its secretariat and one of the conference organisers, described the Alliance of Sahel States (AES) as a beacon of hope for states that were once under France's oppressive rule. However, even after the end of formal colonialism, most French-speaking African countries were forced to use the France-controlled CFA franc currency. Between 2021 and 2023, Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger—with the support of their populations—expelled Western-aligned governments through coups d’état and demanded the withdrawal of French troops from their territories. These countries faced isolation from their Western-aligned neighbours, particularly the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), which imposed sanctions in response. To further defend their territories against the scourge of terrorism that Western military occupations had not stopped, Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger united to form the AES confederation, an anti-imperialist bloc that shares defence, economic and foreign policies. It plans to move toward becoming a federation, with the goal of continental unification. The conference symbolised hope in the ongoing struggle against neocolonialism in Africa’s Sahel region and throughout Africa, igniting the spirit of revolution among African peoples.

EU CHIEF SAYS EUROPE MUST UP GAME IN AFRICA Former colonialists and neo-imperialists just can’t leave Africa alone, can they? In this 2023 video, European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen calls for more European involvement in the Sahel and urges for a new strategic partnership with our continent. She predicted more instability in the Sahel as a result of the revolutionary coups, which overthrew Western-aligned rulers. She ignored the fact that the citizens of Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger were overwhelmingly in support of the anti-imperialist revolutions in their countries. She would have the world believe that the legacies of French colonialism and US imperialism in Africa are not a factor in the ejection of Western troops and diplomats from the Sahel. Von der Leyen betrays neo-colonialist European plans for Africa by saying that the European Union will work with ‘legitimate governments and organisations in Africa,’ diplomatic-speak for African leaders in the pocket of imperialists. For context, in 2024, the EU and European member states provided $370 million of the total African Union (AU) budget of $605 million. And in 2023, French president Emmanuel Macron lobbied the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) to intervene militarily in Niger, which ousted the West’s puppet president Mohamed Bazoum and kicked out French troops and diplomats. Could von der Leyen’s call for partnerships, which includes the much-touted €150 billion Global Gateway Investment Package for Africa, be a Trojan horse to entrench neo-colonialism in our continent? Given Europe’s history with colonialism and support for puppet African leaders doing its bidding, there is every reason for Pan Africanists to stay vigilant. Video credit: France 24

TRUMP'S IMPERIAL ANTI-IMMIGRATION GAMBLE U.S. President Donald Trump's recent decision to indefinitely halt all immigration visa processing for citizens of 75 countries across the Global South is more than just another populist policy move that panders to spiking anti-immigration sentiment across the Global North. While the flow of resources from imperial extremities to the imperial core is a well-known feature of the imperial economic system, the flow of people in the same direction is less well known: it is not simply incidental to imperialism but central to it. In addition to providing a large base of cheap, exploitable labour for the consumption of imperial metropoles, the large-scale systematic migration of the young, best and brightest from the Global South to the Global North has served to maintain the political status quo in the Global South. This process serves as a demographic and economic pressure-release valve, preventing the Global South from building a critical mass of young, educated, and dissatisfied people that would threaten the empire's economic and political foundations. Nigerian author and investigative journalist David Hundeyin explores how despite knowing fully well that mass migration from the edges of an empire to its centre are essential to maintain its economic and political balance, Trump's anti-immigration onslaught is an attempt by a falling empire to extend its reign by significantly redefining - but not fundamentally changing - the extractive rules and principles that the empires of the Global North have rested on for decades.

Breaking 🚨 - The AES officially withdraws from ECOWAS. Burkina Faso 🇧🇫, Mali 🇲🇱 and Niger 🇳🇪 in a joint statement have officially announced their withdrawal from this useless, corrupt and hijacked organization called Ecowas - Cedeao. Here is what @Colonel_Maiga is reading: “Eager to achieve integration between the States of the sub-region and driven by the motives of fraternity, solidarity, mutual aid, peace and development, Their Excellencies General Aboubacar Sangoulé Lamizana, General Moussa Traoré and Lieutenant -Colonel Seyni Kountché, respectively Heads of State of Upper Volta (current Burkina Faso), Mali and Niger, created with twelve (12) of their peers, on May 28, 1975, in Lagos, the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). After 49 years of existence, the valiant people of Burkina, Mali and Niger note with great regret, bitterness and great disappointment that their Organization has moved away from the ideals of its founding fathers and from Pan-Africanism. Furthermore, ECOWAS, under the influence of foreign powers, betraying its founding principles, has become a threat to its member states and its populations whose happiness it is supposed to ensure. Indeed, the organization has not provided assistance to our States in the context of our existential fight against terrorism and insecurity; worse, when these States decided to take their destiny into their own hands, it adopted an irrational and unacceptable posture by imposing illegal, illegitimate, inhumane and irresponsible sanctions in violation of its own texts; all things which have further weakened populations already bruised by years of violence imposed by instrumentalized and remote-controlled terrorist hordes. Faced with this continuing situation, Their Excellencies, Captain Ibrahim Traoré, Colonel Assimi Goïta and Brigadier General Abdourahamane Tiani, respectively Heads of State of Burkina Faso, the Republic of Mali and the Republic of Niger, taking all their responsibilities in the face of history and responding to the expectations, concerns and aspirations of their populations, decide in complete sovereignty on the immediate withdrawal of Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger from the Economic Community of West African States. Done in Ouagadougou, Bamako and Niamey, January 28th, 2024.” Now, this withdrawal has so many implications given we have our foreign nationals within ECOWAS and they also do have theirs in our three states. This will mean that the AES must quickly form the confederation with its single currency and a passport common to our three countries since we will no longer be able to use the ECOWAS passport. If you see that this joint declaration has been made, it means that our common currency might even be ready already. ECOWAS is for economic integration even if they aspire to be a federal political entity in the long run. But it is clear that they are now corrupt and working against Africa. As I’m writing this, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Alassane Ouattara and the Algerian army chief of staff are all in Paris to see how to destabilize the AES. So what is the point of remaining in such a dead organization which has been hijacked by the imperialists? This withdrawal was predictable and long awaited. Man, this is the biggest news we have been looking and waiting for! This is going to be good. What a joy! What a happy day! Oh how I’m bursting with joy and happiness! Now, it’s time to move on with our confederation! Let’s go to work brave Général d'Armée Assimi GOITA Capitaine Ibrahim TRAORÉ, General Tiani, Choguel Kokalla Maiga Appollinaire Joachim Kyelem de Tambela @Colonel_Maiga Amb. Abdoulaye Diop. Be strong and courageous! We stand by you! Long live the Alliance of Sahel States (AES)! One love ❤️!

🛑 Burkina Faso 🇧🇫, Mali 🇲🇱 and Niger 🇳🇪 put their three armies on maximum alert 🚨. The AES has rejected the extended time that Ecowas - Cedeao has decreed for their official withdrawal. They also state that the College of Heads of State of the AES notes with regret that within ECOWAS, destabilization maneuvers are regularly initiated by a handful of Heads of State who impose their wishes and foreign agendas on the rest of the organization. In addition to these activities, there are operations to reorganize and regroup terrorist groups in the Lake Chad Basin, in the Sahel and in certain border areas, namely: Niger-Nigeria: Niger-Benin: Niger-Burkinn: Benin-Burkina. These receive various forms of support from foreign states, including financial and logistical resources, aimed at destabilizing the AES. Given the seriousness of these ends, the College of Heads of State of the Confederation: 1. Decides to place the defense and security forces on maximum alert; 2. Decides to make the confederal space a single theater of military operations, coexisting with the current national military theaters; 3. Calls on the populations of the AES to redouble their vigilance; to systematically denounce any suspicious act to the security forces; and to reject proposals for enlistment in terrorist groups. The College of Heads of State reiterates its commitment to pursue with determination the fight of the People of the AES for their true sovereignty and dignity.

REACTION: U.S. CONGRESSMAN CALLS TO INVADE NIGER Africans everywhere have a responsibility to defend Niger at this moment. Why so? Well, Niger is the first African country to expel US Africa Command (AFRICOM) and to forge a sovereign path with two neighbours, Burkina Faso and Mali. The three countries recently ousted Western-aligned leaders and booted the French military. They also make up the Alliance of Sahel States (AES) confederation. This new anti-imperialist bloc shares defence, economic and foreign policies, and has agreed to issue a joint passport. In this clip from a recent episode of ‘This Week in Africa,’ African Stream’s livestream collaboration with @authentic_african, Inemesit Richardson says Africans around the world must fight to defend the AES, as they have placed their hopes in the decolonial revolutionary process underway in Africa’s Sahel, an arid region south of the Sahara Desert. But, Western powers are not happy about this revolutionary turn of events in Africa. For example, in May, just a few months after Niger tore up a military cooperation agreement with the United States and a few weeks before the US agreed to leave Niger by 15 September, Republican US Congressmember Matt Gaetz called for the US to invade the country. While nothing of the like unfolded, it does not mean that US regime-change tactics are off the table.
