 Senegal’s Faye Says Has ‘Done Everything’ To Bring Sahel Trio Back To ECOWAS Senegalese President Bassirou Diomaye Faye said he had “done everything possible” to bring junta-led Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger back into west Africa’s ECOWAS regional group, to no avail. The three Sahel countries quit the Economic Community of West African States at the beginning of the year, accusing the bloc of being subservient to France and failing in the fight against jihadism. The breakaway countries have formed their own Alliance of Sahel States (AES), turning away from former colonial power France and pivoting towards Russia. In July last year, Faye was appointed by ECOWAS as a mediator towards the three Sahel countries now led by juntas which seized power in recent coups. “I pleaded for people to come together around a table and talk, to preserve the chances of maintaining a strong sub regional organisation,” Faye told local media during a marathon four-hour interview. “But the fact remains th...

     The Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, has commended the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) pilots and other crew members who participated in the fly past and aerial display, which was part of the Ceremonial Parade marking Nigeria’s 58th Independence Anniversary Celebrations on 1 October 2018. The CAS, who made the commendation today, 2 October 2018, at Headquarters NAF, Abuja while hosting the crew members of the various platforms that took part in the event, lauded the courage, resilience and dexterity of the pilots in effectively executing the mission in spite of the unfortunate air mishap which claimed the life of late Squadron Leader Mohammed Bello Baba-Ari during a rehearsal for the event on 28 September.

Air Marshal Abubakar, who could not hide his admiration for the pilots and other crew members for their show of professionalism, noted that the Nigerian populace was indeed appreciative of their efforts and commitment in carrying out their constitutional responsibilities. He admitted that the hazardous nature of the military profession, especially air operations, implied that the element of risk could never be totally eliminated. He therefore thanked them for remaining focused despite the tragic incident that cost the NAF the loss of one of its finest and very promising senior officers and encouraged them to always remain dedicated in the performance of their assigned tasks despite any circumstances they may face. He also eulogized late Squadron Leader Baba-Ari as a very dedicated and committed senior officer who was well respected and liked by all. According to him, the remarks emanating from every quarter about the late senior officer were indicative of a legacy that epitomized NAF’s core values of ‘Integrity’, ‘Excellence’ and ‘Service before Self’. The CAS also used the opportunity to thank Nigerians for the overwhelming show of sympathy and support as well as the words of encouragement and prayers offered for the family of the deceased pilot and the NAF. He assured the pilots and other crew members of the unwavering support of the NAF leadership while urging them to continue to do their utmost towards securing the territorial integrity of the country and helping millions of helpless Nigerians in the various theatres of operation.
