Burkina Faso
This article examines the role of the U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) in Africa, highlighting concerns over its extensive surveillance and military presence. While AFRICOM positions itself as a partner in security and development, its operations, including intelligence gathering and training programs, have raised questions about sovereignty and potential destabilization. The piece calls for a reevaluation of such partnerships to ensure Africa’s future is determined by its own people, free from external manipulation.
Burkina Fasoâs young leader, Captain Ibrahim TraorĂ©, has become the face of a new anti-imperialist wave in West Africa. Backed by Russia and China, and unafraid to challenge Western dominance, his rise echoes the revolutionary dreams of past leaders like Muammar Gaddafi and Thomas Sankara. With Burkina Fasoâs gold and resource wealth at the center of global interest, many fear that TraorĂ© may be targeted before his vision can take root. The situation raises urgent questions about African sovereignty, resource control, and whether history is doomed to repeat itself.
