President Mahama has promised his Burkinabe counterpart, Ibrahim Traore that the concerns of members of the Alliance of Sahel States (AES) will be forwarded to the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) for redress.
He said, AES and ECOWAS cannot afford not to collaborate.
President Mahama said this when he undertook a visit to Burkina Faso on March 10. "We discussed the issue of AES and ECOWAS and I've got new perspectives about the concerns that the three countries have in respect of their relations with ECOWAS.
I have assured Mr President that the next meeting of ECOWAS, I would pass on what they have explained to me to the other leaders," he said during a post discussion press briefing in Burkina Faso.
