African nations plan to form confederation amid confrontation with ECOWAS

The three West African states of Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger are mulling the idea of forming a confederation.

Niger was especially critical of it for slapping sanctions on the countries and has vowed never to return to the bloc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Freedom over censorship, truth over narrative.
