      Anyone who fights against a colonial power and its compradors is an anti-colonial fighter. In this case, at the 10,000’ view, it’s the Alliance of Sahel States.

      The confederation is against neo-colonialism and has demonstrated this with acts such as downgrading the status of the French language, renaming of colonial street names, and in the case of Mali suspending teaching of the French Revolution in schools. The AES is also anti-French and anti-ECOWAS in outlook, as it disagrees with many of their policies.
