Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger just launched a new Sahel currency system to replace the CFA franc, and France is watching its 80-year monetary control over West Africa collapse. Here's the full story behind the AES currency rebellion.
In December 2025, the Alliance of Sahel States (AES) activated the Confederal Bank for Investment and Development (BCID-AES) with $895 million in capital—the institutional foundation for a sovereign Sahel currency that could end French financial dominance in West Africa.
This video breaks down:
✅ Why Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger are leaving the CFA franc zone
✅ How the CFA franc system has kept 14 African countries tied to France since 1945
✅ The role of Russia and BRICS in backing the AES monetary independence movement
✅ What ECOWAS losing three members means for West African integration
✅ The economic risks and opportunities of launching a new African currency
✅ Why this could inspire other African nations to pursue monetary sovereignty
The CFA franc debate represents the final stage of African decolonization—economic independence. Whether the AES currency succeeds or fails will reshape African finance, regional integration, and the balance of power between Africa and former colonial powers for decades to come.
This is the untold story of how three of the world's poorest countries are challenging one of Europe's most powerful nations over the most basic tool of economic power: money.
