“What you have in the AES [Alliance des Etats du Sahel] will not last. We will destabilize them.” - French former ambassador to Mali 🇲🇱.

This past Saturday November 25th, the Malian PM gave his speech at the ministerial session before his colleagues and the other ministers of the Alliance of Sahel States (AES). Here is what he said:

“Few weeks ago, a report of the French government determines a new cooperation with Africa. It is so well that when you listen to them you see their weaknesses. But nothing has changed. It is the same discourse. Do you know that underneath they are seeking to destabilize our countries?

We all saw in the news recently a French secrete service agent who said that it is good that they have now left Niger 🇳🇪, they will be able to conduct some operations of destabilization more secretive. It is him who said it. But there is worst than that. Yesterday, Friday November 24th, the former French ambassador to Mali 🇲🇱, Nicolas Normand who is always on social media talking about Mali held a meeting at the French National Assembly.

Do you know what they tell people? They say that what you have in Mali 🇲🇱, in Burkina Faso 🇧🇫 and in Niger 🇳🇪 will not last, because, they are working, they will destabilize them. They will push them to kill each other. This is just yesterday, on Friday. And do you know what they did? They gathered together what they called the foreign community to listen to the French officials. But they selected the people who are receptive to their message.

Those are the same ones we see on social media who claim that they support the transition (I call them sellouts and traitors, wolves in sheep clothing. Beware of the enemies from within!), they went there. And here is what they told them: we will destabilize them, we are waiting; in fact, we already have people who are working on the ground. This is yesterday, on Friday. Is this not different from the discourse that their senators had on praising us? So, this is how they operate.”
