Amid growing instability in the Sahel region and shifting geopolitical dynamics, the United States is actively pursuing closer security ties with the Ivory Coast, including discussions about establishing a drone base in the West African nation. This development comes as the US seeks to reposition its military presence in the region following its withdrawal from Niger. The strengthening partnership was highlighted during a recent visit by US Marine Corps General Michael Langley, Commander of US Africa Command (AFRICOM), who attended the opening ceremony of Flintlock 2025 in Jacqueville on April 24. During his visit, a key topic of discussion was the potential establishment of a drone base in Ivory Coast. While no final decision has been made regarding constructing a permanent facility, advanced talks are reportedly underway between the US and Ivorian authorities. Watch this video to know more.

But his revolutionary legacy lives on through new leaders like Ibrahim Traoré. Was his dream of a free and self-reliant Africa too dangerous for the global elite? Watch as we connect the past to the present, uncover shocking revelations, and ask the bold question: can Ibrahim Traoré finish what Sankara started?
