The second 48 hour summit of the Alliance of Sahel States ended today in Bamako, with the leaders of Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso announcing new joint projects aimed at strengthening cooperation within the bloc.

Mali’s transitional president Assimi Goïta met with Niger’s Abdourahamane Tiani and Burkina Faso’s Ibrahim Traoré, as the three leaders inaugurated the headquarters of a future Alliance television network and confirmed plans to launch a joint investment and development bank expected to become operational next year.

The leaders also said the Alliance of Sahel States will increasingly coordinate its positions on regional and international issues, including diplomatic engagement and voting, as part of efforts to present a unified front on security and development.

Traoré Cracks Down on Corruption as Officials Face Trial

Several officials from Burkina Faso’s Ministry of Humanitarian Action are facing trial over the alleged diversion of nearly three billion CFA francs (about $5 million) meant for internally displaced people, drawing renewed attention to corruption within state institutions.

Prosecutors say the funds were misused through fictitious expenses, inflated costs and the personal use of public resources, with those charged facing up to six years in prison.

The proceedings, triggered by revelations from a former official already convicted in the affair, come as President Ibrahim Traoré continues to frame his leadership as a break from past impunity and a push for greater accountability.

The trials have been scheduled for early 2026.

Altogether, government ministries, departments, and area councils owe over 𝐃𝟏𝟒𝟔 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 to NAWEC for just five months.

Institutions like the Judiciary, Ministry of Justice, Foreign Affairs, Youth & Sports, and a few others don’t owe electricity bills at all. Why? Because they use Cash Power - they pay before they use.

But big offices like the Office of the President, army barracks, police stations, health facilities, and prisons are not on Cash Power. So electricity is used freely and the bills just pile up.

Why can’t government make it compulsory for all public institutions to use Cash Power?

If these arrears were paid, it could help NAWEC reduce electricity costs. It’s not fair that ordinary Gambians pay their bills every month, while government offices, funded by taxpayers, don’t.

Senegal is raising 🇸🇳.

Senegal is going!

In a global context marked by inflation, geopolitical tensions and the general rise in the cost of living, Senegal has just taken a major step with the effective decrease in the prices of commodities, electricity and hydrocarbon.

This positive evolution is not the result of chance: it is the result of coherent, courageous political choices that are completely oriented in the interest of the Senegalese people.

In eighteen months, the Government led by Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko, under the vision of President Bassirou Diomaye Faye, has implemented strong measures to mitigate the economic impact of a difficult inherited situation. Prices of essential commodities have been reduced again, including a bag of imported rice, from FCFA 22,000 to FCFA 15,500, and a 20-litre can of oil, reduced from FCFA 19,000 to FCAF 15,500.

Reducing electricity and hydrocarbon costs is also a major turning point. Superfuel goes from FCFA 990 to FCFA 920 per litre, diesel from FCFA 755 to FCFA 680, and butane gas prices have been reduced for 2.7kg, 6kg and 9kg bottles.

However, it is essential to ensure strict control over the application of these measures, as well as their real impact on the population, so that every decision taken at the summit translates concrete into the daily lives of Senegalese.

These measures directly affect households but also the entire economic chain, from transportation to small businesses, helping to curb inflation and support national competitiveness.

While many countries are still struggling to contain inflation, Senegal is demonstrating its ability to protect its citizens by adopting bold and responsible public policies. We do not downplay persistent challenges: we choose to approach them with clarity and determination, away from old practices and ineffective solutions of the past. Thus opens a new path, the one of endogenous development, economic sovereignty and social justice.

The recent budget vote also confirmed the return of family grants, following rigorous diagnostics and better targeting. This essential device allows to effectively accompany the most vulnerable households and guarantees a fair social policy, in accordance with the real needs of the country.

These advances demonstrate that it is possible to govern differently, with integrity, transparency and a deep sense of responsibility towards the people. This is the model we have always defended. You need to be PASTEF to govern with and for your people, and it will be so until 2050.

Honestly, these leaders have pity for the people.
