Or ECOWAS with its current impasse with the Sahel Alliance for regional example. Ultimately, it will be up to the respective populations themselves to determine how they choose to move forward. All 54 of them. Their decisions will be respected. The daydreams of some present real nightmares for others. Some countries prefer to stand alone than to lay down together in chains..
