 Sahel alliance to launch TV to 'fight information war'


The breakaway bloc of West African nations is set to launch a web television to fight "information war" after several French media outlets were closed in the region.


Alliance of Sahel States (AES) is faced with "disinformation campaigns" and thus Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger have decided to take the lead by creating a new communication platform, an official of Mali's Department of Communication told Anadolu.


This comes as the AES commemorates its first anniversary since being formed last year. The Alliance of Sahel States is a confederation formed between Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso.


"This web TV is part of a broader strategy aimed at strengthening the credibility of the AES on the international scene," according to the official, who requested anonymity.


In a statement, Haber Traore, special adviser to Mali's minister for communication, said: "Right now, everything is set and ready. We are waiting for leaders to officially launch it."


In his address to the confederation of three nations, Mali President Assimi Goita announced the launch of a new AES television station.
