According to new reports, the three countries want to make joint effort towards development.
Instead of getting back into ECOWAS as individual countries, they will instead merge as joint a force and present themselves as one representative.
Many believe that If this happens, then the Sahel States will be like the Soviet union in Africa.
It is important to note that, Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger are currently being rules by Military juntas.
They are yet to hold elections to elect a new leader under a democratic rule following the military takeover.
