Chad may soon join the gigachads of the AES

What’s their government like though? It doesn’t seem like a left leaning coup government like the AES states. The AES is a confederation with a goal of federalizing. If they add countries that aren’t in line with them ideologically, it might cause problems.
For comparison, afaik the East African Federation has overextended itself and as a result has had trouble actually moving forward with federalization.
- Is the AES AES?
  
  I'm waiting list on them to prove it one way or the other. Everyone definitely has Sankara in mind, so the vibes are good. Hard to give a confident "yes" under a military government, but I haven't yet seen them do many hibg particularly disagreeable.
  Armchair mode: First Traore needs to stay alive, then get his shit done as far as security and development, then get a civilian government set up. Things that would fuck up the process: CIA shiz, hard times of some sort come up and people become disinspired, some sort of weird Russian brainworms take root (unlikely).
  
  I think it's in a similar state to Cuba immediately post revolution, and it could easily follow the same path. It has a very proud history with Sankara that Traore regularly evokes, and he was involved in Marxist groups when he was younger.
  Much less is said about Mali and Niger, so I don't know.
:chad:
Now we need someone who can give them sea lane access. Who is most likely out of neighboring countries with a coastline?
- Senegal
