They may be trying to kick out the French, but are working just fine with the US in CT ops. Will that be enough to ensure the French leave and allow them to act independently, or will they be forced to bring in Wagner and upset the US.

Is Ecowas still trying to overthrow them? Is this alliance capable of independently defending themselves? Will Algeria get involved in this alliance?

The 3 nations have signed a military and economic alliance. I highly doubt Ecowas will intervene militarily. Algeria backs these 3 nations and is against any military intervention. Algeria does want these countries to create a road map towards elections and civilian rule.

It would be a good move by Algeria to form a military and economic alliance with these 3 nations, they are all neighbours. It will expand Algeria influence in Africa.

Also the Anti-ECOWAS security alliance. ECOWAS seems hesitant or has waited a bit too long to have allowed potentially vulnerable Niger to form a quick alliance to defend against external intervention. ALgeria is also on standby to support Niger or probably this alliance militarily.

Southern Libya may also join.

The issue was before even the alliance was officially formed, Algeria was strictly against any military intervention, also Mali and Burkina Faso warned they will intervene to defend Niger. Now a stamp has been placed on the alliance.

Good luck to them. Its time Africa looks after its own interests rather than be controlled by foreign powers.
