Quick to Denounce Coups, Slow To Fight Sahel Terror: Sonko Calls Out ECOWAS.

In this Episode 3 of the Sonko 10-Part Series, Ousmane Sonko delivers a blunt warning: terrorism in the Sahel does not respect borders. As violence reaches deeper into West Africa, he challenges ECOWAS over what he describes as unequal urgency—swift reactions to political crises, but delayed action against a threat devastating communities, soldiers and economies. Sonko calls for dialogue between ECOWAS and the Alliance of Sahel States, stronger regional security cooperation, and a Pan-African focus on the continent’s real battles: safety, jobs and development. Can Africa rise above division before the crisis spreads further? Watch, share and join the conversation today.
