Senagal’s Foreign Minister highlighted concerns in the Sahel region, emphasizing the inadequacy of a single-state approach and calling for a supranational response to address the challenges.
“Many steps have been taken to solve the problem in the Sahel, but we cannot find a solution to these problems with just one state. We need a supranational response,” Ismaila Madior Fall said during a panel titled Coast: From Security Risks to Permanent Stability at Antalya Diplomacy Forum.
Fall highlighted the importance of focusing on governance, security, and development to address security issues in the region through global and local cooperation.
“The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) plays a significant role in this regard. Indeed, the memberships of Sahel countries wanting to leave the union have not been canceled because cooperation is crucial for solving the problems,” Fall added.
