On September 16, 2023, the military leaders of Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger signed the Liptako-Gourma Charter, a mutual defense agreement that established the Alliance of Sahel States.

"We have made a commitment to combine our efforts in a spirit of brotherhood, mutual solidarity, and friendship for the prosperity and peace of our respective communities," said Mahamane Aichatou Lawali, coordinator of the CP-AES from Niger.

The CP-AES aims to be a bulwark against imperialism and foreign interference, reflecting the desire of the people of the Sahel to take control of their own destiny, local media highlighted.
