On July 1st, 2024, the transitional government of Captain Ibrahim Traore will come to an end. Recall that when he came to power in September 2022 and was appointed interim president of Burkina Faso in October of the same year, Ibrahim Traore pledged to give his support for a transition leading to elections in July 2024. This means that the military government which has been ruling Burkina Faso for more than a year, is about to end. And in line with this, Traore’s administration recently announced that they will hold national consultations at the end of this month to determine the next steps in the nation’s transition to civilian rule. According to a press release signed by Minister of Territorial Administration Emile Zerbo and read on national television, “National meetings have been called for May 25 and 26 in Ouagadougou”. "These meetings will enable representatives of the nation's active forces to deliberate on the next steps to be taken in the transition, which will run until July 1, 2024, as stipulated in the October 14, 2022 charter," the announcement said.

The minister's statement further revealed that “The meetings will bring together representatives from civil society, political parties, and the military to "take stock of the past months, decide whether to continue the transition and what that continuation will be”. This announcement comes after all 71 members of the legislative assembly for transition, the ALT, approved a plan for a transition forum, leaving it to the sovereign people who will meet during the national forum to decide the development of the transition in April. All these moves are in preparation for what happens next after the transition period of Captain Traore ends in July. But the question is, “Is that what the citizens of Burkina Faso want? Do they want a new leader who will be elected to replace Ibrahim Traore? Not surprisingly the answer is NO. The citizens of Burkina Faso have enjoyed the leadership of Ibrahim Traore so much so that on May 11th, thousands of Burkinabes gathered at the Municipal Stadium in Ouagadougou, the capital of Burkina Faso, to pledge support for the extension of Traore’s transition period. This is historic.

I'm your host, and today we are reporting on the news of The Sahel States Confederation (AES) of Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger scoring a monumental victory, marking the end of their contentious relationship with the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). This isn’t just a regional political shift, it’s a historic moment in Africa’s struggle for sovereignty and independence from external pressures. The triumphant departure of these three nations from ECOWAS symbolizes the dawn of a new era for Pan-African unity and national determination. What caused this rift, and what does it mean for the future of Africa? Buckle up, as we unpack this transformative event and celebrate the victory of the AES.ECOWAS’s handling of the political transitions in Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger revealed a series of critical missteps that worsened tensions between the bloc and the Sahel states. One of the most glaring failures was the imposition of heavy-handed sanctions. Instead of fostering dialogue and mutual understanding, ECOWAS resorted to sweeping economic and political measures against these nations. These punitive actions, aimed at pressuring the governments, caused significant suffering among ordinary citizens. Families faced shortages of essential goods, disrupted trade, and economic instability, fueling widespread resentment toward ECOWAS rather than the targeted leaders. This approach not only failed to achieve its objectives but also strengthened anti-ECOWAS sentiment across the Sahel region. #captaineibrahimtraore #burkinafaso #capitaineibrahimtraoré #ibrahimtraoré

Gold Production in Mali: Overview

It is one of the top 15 gold producers globally.

2. Annual Production:

Mali produces approximately 60-70 metric tons of gold per year, sometimes production can vary depending on mining activities and investments.


3. Contribution to GDP:

Gold contributes around 10% to 15% of Mali’s GDP.

⁣Welcome back to ABIBITUMI TV, your trusted source for unfiltered news and analysis on African affairs.
I'm your host, and today we are discussing on bold move that underscores Niger's determination and sovereignty , as Niger refused to renew Orano's mining license for the Imouraren mines in June 2024. But that was just the beginning. While Orano managed to retain control of the smaller Somair uranium mine, it has now lost operational control of this last stronghold to Niger's military administration. The tide has clearly turned against Orano, marking a series of significant setbacks for the French nuclear giant. This historic move not only shifts the balance of power in the nuclear energy industry but also signifies a bold step towards self-determination for Niger. But what does this mean for France, Africa, and the broader global energy landscape? Today, we dive into the details of this dramatic development and its far-reaching implications. This decisive move by Niger’s military government marks the culmination of a broader strategy to reclaim sovereignty over its natural resources. For decades, Niger has been a significant uranium supplier, particularly to France, where uranium fuels a substantial portion of its nuclear energy sector. Before the coup in Niger last year, the country provided 15–20% of France’s uranium needs. However, this era of dependency is now over. #captaineibrahimtraore #burkinafaso #capitaineibrahimtraoré #ibrahimtraoré
