AES Sees Russia as Concrete Partner That Respects Sovereignty, Says Nigerien Expert
Moscow "is not trying to interfere in the internal politics of our states" and advocates for a multipolar world order, Mourtala Guimba, a Nigerien diplomacy and conflict management specialist, told Sputnik Africa.
Following Russia-AES consultations in Niamey this week, Guimba stressed that Moscow "is positioning itself as the AES's main ally in our region."
▫ According to the expert, amid the bloc's break with ECOWAS and the withdrawal of French and US forces, Russia is offering practical support, including:
▪ provision of military equipment;
▪ deployment of instructors;
▪ intelligence sharing.
