When you're military alliance sucks so hard it's officially ASS

Their alliance doesn’t suck because all states are unified well against a common threat with no special interest to betray or not give the alliance its all, so it’s a fine alliance.

Ah yes, because sub Saharan military dictatorships are well known for working together well and being very stable and rational :)

They are a union of despots fighting against democracy, they have every incentive to make sure that democracy can’t gain a foothold in the Sahel.

Eh, they’re more a trio of incredibly unstable states they’ve recently seized against the existing order causing their neighbors to decide to try and re-establish a friendlier regimes to themselves.
Imo the democracy angle of it is pretty immaterial outside of western discourse on it, even the more “democratic” of the ecowas states are deeply flawed democracies. The region is pretty much broken into the three camps of western aligned flawed democracies, BRICS aligned autocracies (for lack of better signifier though that’s not really exactly their alignment), and the ethnic/islamists militias against everyone
