Traoré Blocks 57 Trucks at Border – What Were They Really Carrying?
According to this video – quite credible in every way – the Burkina Faso government just exposed and neutralized a major campaign to overthrow its revolutionary government as well as the governments of Mali and Niger. The campaign included the seizure of more than $100 million in weapons being transported into the country, the collusion of a number of opposition figures and former Burkina generals. According to confessions, the plot was hatched in Accra, Ghana. It included (but was not limited to) the participation of the Nigerian government. The plot was devised in France with the Trump Administration having given it the green light.
Such a nefarious plot should not be a surprise to anyone familiar with the roles of the United States and France in Africa, their efforts to sustain the system of neo-colonial control and extraction of the continent’s wealth which they are fast losing, and not only in Burkina Faso. What a pleasure to see “Franc-Afrique” in its death throes and U.S. Imperialism in Africa exposed and in full crisis. More, much more on these developments, in the near future.
Rob:
Thank you for this example of the Traore administration’s effectiveness at disturbing the status quo of extractive colonial domination of African resources. I’ve cited 3-4 similar instances in my weekly mailings but began to think that no one else is tracking this rebirth of Burkina Faso, the Sahel and Africa.
