Cherut Ve Shalom – Freedom and Peace

The Nation of Cherut proudly and unequivocally stands in solidarity with the Alliance of Sahel States (AES)—a bold and visionary union forged by Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger. As these nations embark on a new path of regional integration and self-determination, Cherut salutes their courage, resilience, and commitment to shaping a brighter, sovereign future for their people.

A Defining Moment for the Sahel—and for Africa

The historic formation of the AES in July 2024 is more than a political realignment; it is a declaration of hope and agency for the entire Sahel region. In the face of persistent security threats, economic challenges, and external pressures, the leaders and citizens of Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger have chosen unity over division, and self-reliance over dependency.

By creating a confederation rooted in mutual defense, economic collaboration, and shared destiny, the AES is charting a new course for Africa—one that prioritizes the welfare, dignity, and aspirations of its people above all else.

Breaking Chains, Forging New Bonds

The Alliance for the Sahel States represents a decisive break from the vestiges of colonialism and a powerful stand against undue foreign interference. The AES’s vision is ambitious and inspiring: a unified military force, a common currency, integrated infrastructure, and joint food security projects. These initiatives are designed to harness the region’s abundant natural resources and human potential for the benefit of all.

The unveiling of a new flag, the introduction of a Sahel-wide passport, and the launch of collaborative projects are not just symbolic gestures—they are tangible steps toward a future where the Sahel’s destiny is determined by its own sons and daughters.

Cherut’s Pledge: Support, Partnership, and Shared Progress

The Nation of Cherut recognizes that the journey of the AES is not just about the Sahel—it is about the universal right of all peoples to choose their own path. Cherut stands ready to partner with the AES in the pursuit of peace, security, and sustainable development. We call on the international community to respect the sovereignty and legitimate aspirations of the AES member states, and to support their efforts to build a region defined by stability, prosperity, and justice.

Cherut’s commitment is unwavering: We will champion initiatives that foster regional integration, economic empowerment, and the flourishing of African identity and unity. The example set by the Alliance for the Sahel States serves as a beacon of inspiration for all nations striving for freedom, dignity, and self-determination.

Together, let us build a future where Africa’s voice is strong, its people are united, and its destiny is firmly in its own hands.
