Burkina Faso’s Prime Minister, Apollinaire Kyelem de Tambela, has suggested that the country should form a “federation” with neighbouring Mali.
He said the economies of both countries were based on cotton, cattle and gold, and forming a common market would provide more financial strength.
Both countries are military-led and fighting Islamist insurgencies.
They have also recently ordered the French military to withdraw. Mali has invited Russian Wagner Group mercenaries, meanwhile, Burkina Faso is reportedly considering the idea.
