I WILL NOT be defined by the world, every stone you throw at me I'll use it as a stepping stone to move forward. Granted, that occasionally I may get wet but the sun will shine again.
My older brother missed my graduation.
No call. No message. Nothing.
Everyone kept asking, “Where is he?” and I just kept smiling, as if it didn’t matter, but it did.
That night, I muted his contact.
Three days later, there was a knock on our door.
He stood there tired, unshaven, holding a small wrapped box.
“I’m sorry,” he said. “I couldn’t leave the site. If I didn’t finish that job, they wouldn’t pay me and I needed the money for this.”
Inside the box was a simple wristwatch.
“I wanted you to have something that reminds you. Your time is just starting.”
I didn’t know whether to cry or feel guilty.
Sometimes, people don’t show up the way we expect them to.
But it doesn’t mean they didn’t care.
The usual riposte is freedom of expression. Yet the Bill of Rights draws a clear line: speech that incites imminent harm enjoys no sanctuary. Crying “genocide” where none exists is more than hyperbole;.... #treason#Afrika

Here’s a list of some of what Captain Ibrahim Traore has achieved in Burkina in less than 2 years he took over. 👇
Never forget and never forgive what they did to Congo's first president, Patrice Lumumba, where they cut him to 34 pieces and dissolved his body in acid.
In a bold move to boost its local economy, Ibrahim Traoré of Burkina Faso has suspended the export of raw cashew nuts. The goal? To strengthen domestic processing, create more jobs, and add value within the country.
Burkina Faso no longer be imports police and military uniforms. A factory has been built in-country to cater for the uniform needs of all its citizens. This factory will also provide jobs.
