@Mufcjnr1 This is the umptied time today where people are posting old videos, spoken in Spanish, and coming with some bogus translation that has nothing to do with what is being said. Just for clicks. Stop the rubbish man, some of us do understand Spanish.
“The European Union mandates that its nations prioritize purchasing products from within Europe. Only when a product is unavailable in Europe may they source it from another continent.
Yet, in Africa, we undermine our own potential! Angola spends $57 million annually importing fish from Argentina, while Namibia, its neighbor, stands as the largest fish producer in the SADC.
South Africa imports maize from Argentina, ignoring Zambia, a major maize producer next door. Nigeria buys wheat from the United States, overlooking Ghana, a wheat-producing neighbor.
Africa, we are already burdened by fragmented currencies and economies! If we fail to build trust in our own markets and producers, our Central Banks will remain mere community halls, powerless to drive progress.
Rise, Africa! Unite, trust in our own strength, and build our continent’s future through collective trade and self-reliance!”
~ Burkina Faso President, Captain Ibrahim Traore.
Burkina Faso 🇧🇫: IT'S OVER, WE NO LONGER TALK! 😳Captain Ibrahim TRAORÉ is about to start construction of one of the largest solar plants in the entire sub-region.
Set on an impressive 270 hectares in the south-central Burkina Faso, this massive infrastructure will be 100% realised by Burkinabès.
This historic project will put the country of Men of Integrity on the path to energy independence. Work will begin in a few weeks, for an estimated duration of two years.
Long live Captain Ibrahim Traoré!
Long live Africa, long live the revolution.
"After wrecking our education systems and crippling our economies, they handed us sports and entertainment as distractions. Now, you’ll find grown men with full beards and empty wallets spending entire days analyzing football tactics; young men debating video game specs and music; women deep in movie plots and fashion trends while our nations burn and our futures are being quietly slipped away" ~ President Ibrahim Traore

“All over Africa, you will find a mine owned by foreigners, Europeans, Americans, Canadians, Chinese & Australians. They mine our resources in the morning and give us loans in the night. It’s like someone steals your cow, slaughters it and donates intestines to you. And then you welcome them as donors & investors for giving you intestines from your own cow" ~ Ibrahim Traore

DIASPORA AFRICANS CRUCIAL IN
LIBERATION STRUGGLE
The African Union formally recognises Africa's diaspora as the continent’s “6th region.”
We share a history of oppression, a commitment to Pan-Africanism, and a collective desire for self-determination and dignity. In this clip, Claude Gatebuke, a Rwanda G*nocide survivor and activist, gives the recent solidarity marches for Ibrahim Traoré as an example of this dynamic.
Gatebuke argues that Africans in the diaspora play a crucial role as vital bridges between the continent and global struggles for liberation. Their intellectual contributions, political activism, financial support, and cultural solidarity form a critical bridge between Africans on the continent and a global network of allies.
The diaspora actively counters dominant Western narratives that often misrepresent or ignore events and leaders in Africa. In the case of Ibrahim Traoré, mainstream Western media usually paint him as a power-hungry ‘junta’ leader, burying the inconvenient truth that he is spearheading a people-led revolutionary movement.
Diaspora activists utilise social media, independent news sources, and direct action to ensure that alternative views highlighting African sovereignty and the fight against neo-colonialism are heard worldwide. For example, in late April, Leo Muhammad, who was born in Jamaica, led a pro-Traoré solidarity protest outside the US embassy in London, where he heads the UK’s Nation of Islam movement.
