Burkina Faso’s awakening: Breaking the chains of imperialist exploitation

The adversity facing Burkina Faso and its Sahel State Confederation (AES) allies is no accident of fate. This imposed war represents a calculated strategy with one clear objective: to prevent African peoples from emancipating themselves and freely benefiting from their vast natural wealth.
Burkina Faso stands rich not just in human values, courage and history, but in strategic mineral resources including gold, manganese, zinc and phosphates. Yet for decades, a well-oiled imperialist system has deliberately kept its people ignorant of this potential.
International reports labeling the country among the world’s poorest or most indebted serve as propaganda tools, obscuring an inconvenient truth for plunderers: Burkinabe soil overflows with resources critical to global industry.
This systematic deception follows imperial domination’s four pillars: plunder, corruption, deception, and when necessary, assassination.
Across Africa, the mineral-wealthiest nations paradoxically endure the most “inexplicable” conflicts – all designed to prevent them from harnessing resources for development.
Captain Ibrahim Traoré’s leadership has marked a turning point. Under his guidance, the Burkinabe people are awakening to their strength and potential.
His message resonates clear: the time has come to rise, work, and develop without dependence on external powers, especially imperialist forces that have profited from African subjugation for too long.
This awakening represents not just national transformation, but a continental challenge to centuries of exploitation.
