It is no surprise to the Black Alliance for Peace’s (BAP) Africa Team and U.S. Out of Africa Network (USOAN) that aggression is stepping up against the countries in the anti-imperialist Alliance of Sahel States.

Langley provided no details on how these supposed exchanges are carried out or from what Traoré needs protection.
