Ɔbenfo Ọbádélé Kambon on Debout Sur La Colline, one of the popular shows on Radio Television Burkina FasoFR — Description de l’émissionSur les ondes de la RTB Radio, Ismaël B. ouvre un grand débat à l’occasion des 65 ans des Forces armées burkinabè. Autour de la table : Serge B. Imotep (Mouvement 2 Kabita), Amadou Ouedraogo (CRAP/Bota International), l’artiste engagé Osibi Joan (ASQED), et l’invité spécial, le professeur Ọbádélé Kambon (linguiste). Ensemble, ils reviennent sur trois années de réformes majeures — création de brigades d’intervention rapide, redéploiement en régions militaires, réarmement et montée en puissance — et discutent de la place du Burkina Faso dans la sous-région. Le Prof. Kambon relie ces enjeux contemporains à l’héritage kémite (Maât, isfet) et questionne les cadres “dé/néo-colonial” à partir de sources anciennes. L’émission est rythmée par des interventions d’auditeurs saluant l’armée, les VDP et l’action du capitaine Ibrahim Traoré, avant de se conclure sur un segment musical aux accents panafricanistes.Invités & intervenants :Serge B.

Imhotep (Mouvement 2 heures pour nous, 2 heures pour Kamita), Amadou Ouedraogo (CRAP/Bota International), activist-artist Osibi Joan (ASQED), and special guest Prof. Obadele Kambon (linguist). The panel examines three years of sweeping reforms—rapid-reaction brigades, new military regions, rearmament, and a stronger operational posture—while debating Burkina Faso’s standing in West Africa. Prof. Kambon connects today’s moment to classical Kemet (Ma’at vs. isfet) and challenges colonial frames using ancient textual concepts. Live callers praise the army, the VDPs, and Captain Ibrahim Traoré’s leadership. The program closes with a Pan-Africanist musical segment.Guests & Voices: Serge B.
