Niger's membership of the Alliance of Sahel States, from the September 2023 charter through the July 2024 confederation. Niamey hosts the AES joint command at Base 101 and was where the July 2026 Russia–AES framework was concluded, making it the confederation's institutional centre of gravity.
Alliance of Sahel States (AES) has as a member Niger — CNSP Transitional Authorities. A directional arrangement: the two parties do not hold the same position in it. Authored once and read from both ends.

Synthèse
Niger joined the Alliance of Sahel States at its founding in September 2023, weeks after the July coup that brought the CNSP to power, and the three members made it a confederation in July 2024. Niger's position within it is distinct: Niamey hosts the AES joint command at Base 101, alongside a Russian presence co-located with it, and the July 2026 Niamey consultations that produced a formal Russia–AES framework were held there. That makes Niger the bloc's institutional and diplomatic centre of gravity rather than simply one of three members — a position complicated in August 2026 by an armed mutiny inside the same capital.
Pourquoi c’est important
The confederation's two most consequential structures — its joint command and its relationship with Russia — are both anchored in Niamey, which means Nigerien internal stability is a confederation-level variable rather than a national one.
Ce qui reste inconnu
- This module's Niger lens is a baseline rather than a depth. Country-specific institutional detail beyond the shared confederation record is thin.
- The joint command at Base 101 is recorded as a location the module already publishes and as an institutional fact; no force levels, dispositions or activity are published for it.
- This module carries no dated event record for the charter or the confederation treaty; both dates come from the AES actor record.
