You don't have to be one nation to be aligned. China is aligned with North Korea. They are not one nation but aligned.

The visit comes as the US and Vietnam look to deepen ties amid concerns about China’s growing regional strength.
that fool would've slaved away patiently on the plantation, and would've argued against taking any action outside of waiting hundreds of years for the "democratic process" to free him. mentally he's still on the plantation.
i guarantee if he lived over in Niger he wouldn't be arguing for waiting for a democratic process to stop france from raping that country's resources, but it's easy to think up theoretical solutions for someone else struggling in poverty when you're comfortable yourself.
There is no "leaving alone" in geopolitics. Not disagreeing with you and in fact wish the same but I've become more cynical the more history and political literature I read. Geopolitics is one of the few zero sum games and the winner is always the most powerful and there always competition to be at the top. If the west falls, there won't be a sudden live and let live world order. The removal of one power is the signal for the next biggest power to swoop in and take up the mantel. The only way for black countries to be free is to compete at the same level in order to deter people who wish to interfere in your affairs and to also be able to enact influence. "Playing nice" in such a world is always a losing position.
West Africa won't be left alone and if anything this is probably the new cold war like proxy war between east and west, and once again the Africans are the pawns. This means external forces will increase their attempts to control them or influence them.
I watched that speech by that leader in Burkina Faso and the dude is going places, very charismatic, and makes you want to cheer him like a fellow warrior during a battle scene from Braveheart or some shyt. But he mentions in the same speech how they don't want be pitied or beggers to the west and become self sufficient, but turns around and praises Russia for promising to send grain to meet their needs. Russia isn't doing this for free obviously and Russia is simply wishing to take the place of the west. Whether that is good for them is yet to be seen but the west will not leave that alone and at least in the near future, you will see more intervening in west African affairs at this rate than any point in recent history as the tension between OUTSIDE forces play within various African countries. Once again, you have to ask, does the average person benefit from this?
It's obvious the previous status quo wasn't working for these countries and so an alternative is obviously worth trying. But, I have doubts in the long run that these new external alliances will turn out well.
I'm not going to pretend to be an expert on this stuff and just giving my perspective from my limited knowledge

West Africa has seen over 100 years of French colonialism/neocolonialism. This status quo is untenable, as we’ve seen since the 1950s.
I posit to you, how does the average Francophone West African or West African at-large benefit from Francafrique?
I don’t know if the intentions are true and where it goes, but it’s beautiful to see African nations coming together against these parasites 
I actually edited my post to kind of answer this after you replied. In short, they don't. Like I said it's logical to try an alternative but my skepticism is if in the long run that will be better.

@Samori Toure is right
The long term requires a destruction of the Cairo Declaration and a reconfiguration of African states.
It can either happen through the status quo of state failure and zombie states or through….

What resources other than cheap labor does Vietnam hold?
Shouldn't a country be allowed to govern themselves and resources, is there not a market for raw goods. There is nothing on the continent of Africa that they don't already know how to process and refine. Essentially this post supports white supremacy because you're saying it's the white man's burden to help them take care of themselves.
Are the internally aligned though? With all the Sahelian states there's a fight between arabized Africans and Moderate Africans
The state failure process will be brutal.
