The Sahel States Alliance appeared in 2023 to ensure collective defense. On January 28, 2024, the Sahel Troika announced its withdrawal from ECOWAS. In a joint statement, the countries noted that the organization had failed to help these States in their fight against terrorism and ensure the security of their territories.

The first summit of the heads of state was held in July 2024, when the countries agreed to join the Confederation of the AGS.
