Burkina Faso 🇧🇫 has officially launched a new agro-processing plant in the village of Mê, marking a big boost for local agriculture and industrial development.
Spread across 7.2 hectares, the modern facility is equipped with advanced machinery to process both mangoes and cashew nuts locally.
-It has an Annual capacity of 10,000 tons of cashew nuts
- 400 tons of dried mangoes
This development means Burkina Faso’s mangoes and cashews will now be processed within the country instead of being exported in raw form.
While this seems acted, it is true that it is dangerous to put our lives in the hands of unpaid and demotivated medical interns. This is not just about them, it is a national health risk. There is a lot of money wasted on luxury, useless things and useless people. We can’t say we’ve failed to find money for overworked needy young people entrusted with citizens’ lives. A country that demotivates its health workers is a country that doesn’t value lives of its citizens.

🇧🇫My photos of the day.
My president. Africa's most visionary leader.
The man that sees Africa, not in the state it is today, not in the state the imperialist wants us to see it, but with its immense potential, if we all put our hands together and work hard..
Burkinabe 🇧🇫 parents are sending their children to early military training to equip the future generation to defend Africa, as the Black Winter approaches.
Teach them to love Africa and African people, and to hate imperialism in all its manifestations.
Don't wait tell they are 18, or when you see African beating and killing fellow Africans in the streets.
How many African leaders are determine to defend Africa even at the cost of their personal safety?
It is my view, that any African leader who is unprepared to put his life in the line for the advancement of African interest, is just a time wasting puppet, who will not progress his nation or the wider success or interest of Africa.
There has been countless Western sponsored assassination attempts at Ibrahim Traore, all of which have thankfully failed.
Traore had a choice to immune himself from those threats. He could reverse his Agriculture programmes, reverse the mining policy, reverse the development policy, invite the french back in, enjoy the luxury of a French visit, acquire huge assets in Swiss bank, but he declined.
This is what's making the difference in Burkina Faso. They have a leader who is prepared to make himself a sacrificial land, In order to see the advancement of his people, and this is what's missing in many African nations.
Until we secure leaders who are able and willing to put the interest of Africa 1st, I can't see a pathway for success.
The sustainable fight against corruption will be by building institutions (not individuals) and letting them do their job. The current celebration can be understood. Naturally, we celebrate the ongoing action against AAA because of the anger we have towards her displayed insensitivity, with on-camera extravagance, theft, and impunity. Her biggest fault is rubbing it in our faces and persecuting critics/opponents, otherwise corruption per se is normal now. The moment is also used as an outlet for the accumulated frustrations in the public. In a place where corruption is hardly ever genuinely fought, this isolated action had to be exciting - no matter its political intentions.
But, knowing what we know, including that Mawanda is a big PLU official, we need to come back to our senses after the AAA downfall excitement. Other bizarre things are passing in the dust of this dance. We need to remain cynical because many other known corrupt people who are still in good books are walking heads high. There is no new beginning being announced with regard to integrity; it is more of an announcement of the might of a new power base. We need to continue demanding that illegality is not fought with illegality and arbitrariness.
We naturally didn’t care who sorts the irritating AAA, but we should know that if relevant institutions were allowed to do their job and also checked, the AAA phenomenon wouldn’t have taken this long to be brought to order. We know why the IGG and Auditor General developed cold feet during the earlier Parliament Exhibition, as they often do around big political darlings. We watched Parliament become the casino that it is. Government can’t act shocked, except in announcement of incompetence. We know why many relevant bodies can’t do their job.
We can also see that the AAA issue has been choreographed and performed in a way that politically channels credit to an individual who shouldn’t have been at the center of it in a healthy system. That is why it came along with announcement of his preferred replacement - an early patronage sign that the cycle is likely to be repeated.
We have not failed to stop corruption because of lack of individuals who care. It is because of a political system that thrives on corruption and only affords an occasional performance of fighting it where some political interests are at risk or when we want to politically manufacture credit and power for special individuals. A more sustainable fight should be institutional, constitutional and non-selective.
