 Sahel States Impose Import Levy to Fund Their Union

The AES, initially a security pact established in 2023 by the military rulers of these three countries, has evolved into the Federation of Sahel States, an aspiring economic and military union with plans for biometric passports and closer integration.


This move effectively ends free trade with the wider West African region, represented by the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). The three nations withdrew from ECOWAS last year, citing the bloc's perceived failure to assist in their fight against Islamist insurgency and criticizing previously imposed sanctions.
