Announced a year ago, AES TV, the television channel of the Confederation of Sahel States (AES), was officially launched in Bamako, the Confederation's headquarters, in the presence of the three heads of state that make up the AES: General Assimi Goïta (Mali), General Abdourahamane Tiani (Niger), and Captain Ibrahim Traoré (Burkina Faso).
AES TV aims to become the Confederation's common media outlet, designed to improve public information, promote regional integration, and highlight the actions and public policies of member states.
It also aims to represent a unified voice for the Sahel on the regional and international stages.
Salif Sanogo has been appointed channel director, assisted by Sékou Tangara as deputy director. Both are Malian professionals with experience in audiovisual content management and production.
The management team will be responsible for ensuring the operational functioning of the television station, establishing editorial policy, and producing programs.
The channel is broadcast on CHANNEL 699 of the CANAL+ package.
