Captain Ibrahim Traoré, leader of Burkina Faso, has made history by becoming the first person to receive the Alliance of Sahel States (AES) passport. This move comes just days after Burkina Faso, Niger, and Mali formalized their exit from the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), marking a milestone in the geopolitical reorganization of the region.

The new passport is seen as a symbol of unity among the three countries at a time when they seek to strengthen their economic and political cooperation outside the ECOWAS framework. In Ouagadougou, the initiative has been met with optimism by the population, who hope the document will facilitate travel and foster a shared identity within the AES. Additionally, some citizens believe the passport will help project a clearer and more positive image of the region on the international stage.

Niger: a new historical narrative to replace the colonial perspective

Currently, the production of the AES passport is underway at the migration division in Burkina Faso’s capital, with full implementation expected in the coming weeks. This tool is anticipated to simplify travel procedures between Burkina Faso, Niger, and Mali, strengthening economic and human ties among the three nations. According to authorities, the passport will feature advanced security measures to prevent counterfeiting and ensure the authenticity of issued documents.

However, questions remain about the implications of this transition, particularly concerning relations with ECOWAS countries. One major concern is the impact of customs tariffs on the movement of people and goods within the region, which could affect the economic viability of the initiative. Some experts suggest that the creation of this passport may be just the first step toward deeper regional integration, potentially including common trade and defense policies.

For its part, ECOWAS has reiterated its willingness to engage in dialogue and cooperation with the AES states. While these countries have taken steps toward greater regional independence, the dynamics between the two blocs remain fluid, leaving open various possibilities for the future of integration in West Africa. Additionally, the international community is closely monitoring these developments, assessing how they might affect stability and trade in the region. Observers highlight that the consolidation of the AES could redefine power balances in West Africa, especially if these nations succeed in attracting investment and cooperation from international partners.
