Do you ever get tired of talking all the time? The three parties in the alliance are collaborating on economic opportunities and working to suppress the rebel groups that originated in Mali and have been persistent. By coming together to eliminate these rebel groups in the present, despite not doing so in past regimes, could this be seen as an example of Pan-Africanism? It's comparable to the Delian league.
No because they're not just coming together to fight islamist groups; they're also coming together to prevent ECOWAS from restoring the democratically elected president in Niger. Now if you're somewhat familiar with the politics of West Africa, it wouldn't come as surprise to you that for the putschists, the extremists would be less of a threat to their newly acquired power than international sanctions/military action by the likes of Ivory Coast and Nigeria.
I didn't say that was their main objective. They have a shared interest and chose to form an alliance for the betterment of all parties involved rather than acting solely in their own self-interest.
Those three countries were already part of ECOWAS, which seems to work a lot better than the neighboring CEMAC/CAEMC when it comes to promoting intraregional economic and military initiatives.

I am aware that they were a part of ECOWAS; however, there are reasons to doubt the organization's independence from Western influences. Despite its self-preservation, they found solidarity within it, making it a unity.
Thats the old school play by the rules to be accepted school of thinking. Sometimes...I sense a bit vitriol form older generations seeing us current generations move without certain barriers. Sometime when Im out after work, I can look on parent's faces and tell they just told their kids they can't get a job with dreadlocs.Went to Hampton University...
2006
HAMPTON, Va. - Afros are OK but cornrows and flowing dreadlocks are
not for business administration students at Hampton University.
The hair code is part of a strict academic and dress doctrine for
combined business administration students at the private,
historically black university. The program allows students to receive
a bachelor's degree and a master's in business administration in five years.
In addition to the hair rules, students must maintain a B average
after their sophomore year, heed a conservative dress code, complete
two internships and meet regularly with business leaders.
"We don't have problems with Afros," business Dean Sid Credle said
Friday. "A nicely tapered Afro - that's fine."
Credle said the dress, grooming and behavior rules are intended to
prepare students for the starched business world.
"When we look at the top 75 African Americans in corporate America,
we don't see any of them with extreme hairdos," he said.
With the requirements, "they'll get very comfortable wearing a suit
over a five-year period. When they get into corporate America, the
transition will be easier," Credle said.
Aaron Wells, a junior from Fairfax, put away his earrings when he
enrolled. He's got no complaints.
"It really gives us a very good model of what we should be doing in
corporate America," said Wells, who hopes to pursue a career in
finance. "We need to look the part as professionals."
Credle said only one or two students per year have not complied.

Real Talk: Hampton's Old Hair Rule Stirs New Furor
In 2023 parents still on that?Thats the old school play by the rules to be accepted school of thinking. Sometimes...I sense a bit vitriol form older generations seeing us current generations move without certain barriers. Sometime when Im out after work, I can look on parent's faces and tell they just told their kids they can't get a job with dreadlocs.
I live in Texas. Sometimes it feels like they won here.
Bong. I can see it with that added perspective
we got white boys wearing hoodies and J's on the Senate floor but we still gotta cut our hair if it's up to them.
This is the key. I never heard of a black man working in white corporate make any positives changes for the black community. Politicians are the closest you'll get. Black women on the other hand.....
Yea older folks def feel some type of way that things are more lax in most business/work settings these days…We grew up lectured about how to act in that world with all the rules and things you can’t do, just for them to see somebody with dreads and tats working an office making more than they did at the same ageThats the old school play by the rules to be accepted school of thinking. Sometimes...I sense a bit vitriol form older generations seeing us current generations move without certain barriers. Sometime when Im out after work, I can look on parent's faces and tell they just told their kids they can't get a job with dreadlocs.
…It will always be times and things change, gotta get with it or get left behind looking crazy and salty
