Abstract

Breaking with ECOWAS in the name of proclaimed sovereignty, the Alliance of Sahel States (AES) has embarked on an economic headlong rush—without a plan, without institutions, without leverage. Drawing on compelling evidence, the author exposes the imposture of a poorly prepared project dominated by military rhetoric and fiscal improvisation. Through rigorous analysis, he highlights the logistical, monetary, and industrial dead ends of a fantasized autonomy. Yet he also outlines alternatives: a transition toward a hybrid currency, a new institutional architecture, and urgent, credible socio-economic reforms. This is not a reassuring book—it is a warning. And its conclusion is clear: without power, sovereignty is nothing more than an empty word.
