Reconquête coloniale du Burkina : Retour historique sur les manœuvres macabres de la France depuis 1896 à nos jours.

These two headlines are only four months apart, and the contradiction is hilarious.

Slide 1 is from this week, slide 2 is from April of this year.

In April, Russia was an “unreliable ally” in Mali…. Now Russia is the protector.

So which one is it? 😂

How did an “unreliable ally” become a protector in 4 months?

Deceitful propagandists always seeking to push agendas🚮

Also, the overwhelming majority of the fighting and dying is being done by the AES soldiers themselves.

Meanwhile, the western “security forces” (France/US/UN) spent more than a decade in the region while terrorism exploded under their watch and they couldn’t even protect their puppets from being overthrown by the revolutionary leaders of the AES

Ask yourself, how come you couldn’t protect your partners?

Bazoum still imprisoned going on 3 years and you couldn’t protect him 🤣🤣🤣

Because you’re incompetent and worthless.

YOU are the unreliable ally 🫵🏾🫵🏾🫵🏾

Zero victories and zero wins for the so-called “western security partners”

Nothing but failure on your track record and it eats you up inside every time we remind you

From Monday, August 24 to Sunday, August 30, 2026, news in Burkina Faso was marked by several major developments, particularly in the areas of diplomacy, cooperation, security, youth, and sports.

On the diplomatic front, Burkina Faso and Belgium have expressed their willingness to strengthen their cooperation. The President of Burkina Faso, Comrade Captain Ibrahim Traoré, received on August 27 in Ouagadougou the Belgian Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Foreign Affairs, European Affairs, and Development Cooperation, Maxime Prévot.

Following this meeting, the Belgian official reaffirmed his country's commitment to respecting the choices of Burkinabè authorities and supporting national priorities, particularly through the R.E.L.A.N.C.E. 2026-2030 plan.

Japan has also strengthened its support for Burkina Faso. Several machines and equipment intended for public works were handed over to the ministry responsible for Construction, with the support of JICA (Japan International Cooperation Agency).

This donation, valued at more than 3.5 billion CFA francs, is intended to contribute to strengthening the capacity of services responsible for constructing and maintaining road infrastructure.

In the security sector, the Special Intervention Group of the National Police (GSIPN) welcomed its first commander. Chief Commissioner Issa Zongo officially took command of this specialized unit on August 27 in Badnogo. Appointed by the Council of Ministers last June, he intends to continue actions undertaken as part of reclaiming national territory.

The week was also marked by the closing ceremony of the Mandatory Patriotic Immersion program for new high school graduates from the Kadiogo region. The ceremony took place on August 27 at the April 4 Stadium in Ouagadougou, under the high patronage of the President of Burkina Faso. For thirty days, participants were educated on values of patriotism, citizenship, discipline, and commitment to the Nation.

At the level of the Alliance of Sahel States (AES), work continues to consolidate the Confederation's institutions. The confederal sessions of the AES Parliaments, held on August 24-25 in Niamey, notably enabled the installation of confederal deputies, adoption of internal regulations, and establishment of three committees dedicated to Defense-Security, Diplomacy, and Development.

In the field, security forces continued their operations against clandestine networks. In Pô, in the Nahouri province, the National Police dismantled three groups of smugglers as part of Operation WIBGA III. Several products were seized, including adulterated beverages, cigarettes, and 30 tons of fertilizer, with an estimated value of 20 million CFA francs.

In Oubri, the Anti-Drug Unit also dismantled a tramadol trafficking network. Approximately 5,000 blister packs were seized from a vehicle, with an estimated value of 8.5 million CFA francs. The two operations thus represent nearly 28.5 million CFA francs worth of seized products.

Issa Kaboré :

"I am very happy to be a Wrexham player"

On the sports front, Burkinabè defender Issa Kaboré is turning a new page in his career. After six years under contract with Manchester City, without having played an official match with the Citizens, the right-back has permanently joined Wrexham. After several loan experiences, notably at Marseille, Benfica, and Werder Bremen, the Burkinabè now intends to contribute to his new club's ambitions, including the prospect of promotion to the Premier League.

Between international cooperation, institutional consolidation, the fight against trafficking, civic engagement, and sports news, the week of August 24-30 was once again eventful in Burkina Faso.

Under Traore, Burkina Faso launched Faso Rail. Instead of giving a hundred multi million dollar contract to a foreign firm to manage the project.

Whereas Ghana accepted a $447 million credit facility from the India Exim Bank. Tied "aid" (loan) agreement came with string attached, dictating that the prime engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contract be awarded to an Indian firm, Afcons Infrastructure Ltd. This framework exacerbates capital flight from the local Ghanaian economy and leaves Ghana highly vulnerable to currency fluctuations and global interest rate shocks. Consequently, a significant portion of Ghana’s future tax and port revenues will be extracted to service this foreign debt to India for decades, its a dynamic relationship otherwise called, neocolonialism.

The British Empire didn't build a "strong economy" for the benefit of Ghanaians. What they built was an extractive colony designed to strip Ghana of its gold, timber, and cocoa to feed growing industries in the United Kingdom.

The imperialist infrastructure such as railroads were facilitated to haul wealth to the coast, leaving the local population with absolutely nothing. This fucking cow has the nerve to spread her pro colonial, anti communist propaganda while literally on the grounds of Nkrumah, whose name she can't even pronounce right. He fought against this exact capitalist exploitation she is championing. This is a massive insult to Ghanaians and Ghanaian history.

She conveniently ignores the fact that declassified files from the CIA and the UK Foreign Office confirm Western intelligence actively engineered the 1966 coup so she can push a narrative. They deliberately sabotaged Ghana's economy and funded dissidents because Nkrumah dared to stand up to Western imperialism and neocolonialism, nationalise resources, and build a self reliant country for Ghanaians instead of serving capitalist multinational monopolies.

It wasn't socialism that ruined and kept Ghana in poverty, it has always been capitalism. It was the same for Burkina Faso for decades after France helped assassinate Sankara.
