Since Burkina Faso gained independence in 1960, the country never had any gold reserves despite being the 3rd biggest site for gold exploration in Africa and 4th biggest gold producer in Africa, all its gold was taken to mostly France.
Captain Ibrahim Traore came into power nationalized several gold mines, built a gold processing factory and on the last month of 2024 his government showcased an extracted 93 kilograms of gold from 142 tonnes of fine coal.
"I don't understand why we need foreign nationals or experts to mine our gold, when we could do it ourselves" - Captain Ibrahim Traore.
Why would a politician dump public money irresponsibly🤔🤔.

You can't fight the state.
When a state loses a battle, it is by design.
A state is defeated if it outlives its importance.
It outlives its importance when citizens rise against it.
Citizens rise when they hit the streets.
The rest is noise. The state isn't shaken.
Just see the amount of fresh water that tree can carry
Africans are so blessed with resources which their leaders are wasting.
