AES People 'Have Made Irreversible Choice of Sovereignty': Burkinabe PMThey have rejected the "plundering" of their lands and refused "to serve primarily the interests of others," said Prime Minister Jean Emmanuel Ouédraogo at the first meeting of energy, mines, and petroleum ministers from the AES in Ouagadougou.This position was supported by other AES countries: To make development "self-centered," the Alliance needs "to ensure sovereignty over [its] resources," Mali's Minister of Mines Amadou Keita stressed. Niger's objective today is to "develop the rest of its oil potential," working together with other AES states, Ousmane Abarchi, Minister of Mines, emphasized.
