and I will tell you all about it , why he was arrested and why Mali is behaving this way towards foreign mining companies. in this video you will have perfect understanding with key facts to debate this topic everywhere you find yourself.

Gold Production in Mali: Overview

.to get the clear view and understanding of the situation, some facts need to be established.

Mali is one of Africa’s largest gold producers and plays a significant role in the global gold mining industry.

Gold accounts for a substantial portion of the country's economy, making it a vital resource for government revenue, exports, and employment.

Let's establish 5 Key Facts About Mali’s Gold Production

1. Ranking:

Mali is the third-largest gold producer in Africa, after South Africa and Ghana.

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.

It accounts for over 75% of Mali's export earnings.

4. Major Gold Mines:

Mali has several large-scale gold mines operated by international mining companies including :

Loulo-Gounkoto Complex (operated by Barrick Gold who's CEO is under arrest warrant

Fekola Mine (operated by B2Gold)

Sadiola Mine (operated by IAMGOLD and AngloGold Ashanti)

Morila Mine (operated by Firefinch Limited)




5. Reserves:

Mali has over 800 metric tons of proven gold reserves, with significant potential for new discoveries.

looking at Economic Importance of Gold in mali
in regards to Government Revenue: Taxes and royalties from gold mining are a critical source of income for the government of mali.

The Malian government accuses Bristow who is the CEO of barrick gold Mining companie , the government accused him of money laundering and violating financial regulations,

Now mind you similar things occurred last month.
when Mali Military leader Detains CEO and Staff of Resolute Mining
which is Australian gold miner .

they were detained by the Malian government with similar claims of these mining companie refusing to comply with the new mining code introduced by the Malian government since the military took over power.

and now this CEO is Also under arrest warrant.

Since the government of Niger took over power there is so much Escalation between the Government and these Mining Companies

reason been that
Mali’s military-led government is pushing for more revenue from the mining sector to support the country’s economy, especially with gold prices on the rise.

Captain Traore came to power in a military coup in 2022, ousting a government that he criticized for its inefficacy in addressing security threats and economic mismanagement. His leadership has been characterized by promises of reform and a strong focus on combating corruption, restoring public trust, and tackling insecurity, particularly the threat posed by extremist groups.

Traore’s government initially garnered widespread support, particularly among young Burkinabé citizens who viewed him as a symbol of hope and change. However, his administration has faced growing criticism and internal challenges, which culminated in the decision to dissolve the government.►Footages are commercially licensed through Videoblocks, Filmpac, and Artgrid.

Burkina Faso ABANDONS Colonial Tradition of Barrister Wigs!In a bold move, Burkina Faso has decided to ditch a relic of its colonial past - the traditional barrister wigs worn by lawyers in court. This tradition, inherited from the French colonial era, has been a symbol of the country's judicial system for decades. But what led to this sudden change? Is it a step towards decolonization or a bid to modernize the country's legal system? Watch to find out more about this significant decision and what it means for the future of Burkina Faso's judiciary.#burkinafaso #ibrahimtraoré #colonialwigs #bannedabout UsWelcome to Voice of Africa!

What happens when a country finally decides it’s tired of playing dress-up in someone else’s clothes? Burkina Faso just threw a massive wrench in the whole colonial hangover; ditching the ridiculous wigs and gowns that have been clinging to the country’s legal system like a bad fashion trend. But this isn’t about fashion, is it? No, it’s about power, pride, and throwing colonialism out the door. Imagine for a second; what if your whole legal system was dressed in the same outfits used by the people who once ruled over you?
Feels ridiculous, right? Well, that's exactly what Burkina Faso just dumped. But here’s the thing: this decision isn’t just about style. It's about Africa finally saying, “We’re done with this nonsense.” It’s a powerful rejection of the colonial mindset that’s been ingrained into the African psyche for far too long. But what does it mean?
Let’s find out.

⁣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

Five incarcerated people in Alabama are fighting to push forward a lawsuit, Stanley v. Ivey, challenging the state's power to punish prisoners who resist forced labor. Despite a state constitutional provision abolishing slavery that was passed in 2022 by referendum, Montgomery County Circuit Court dismissed the plaintiffs' lawsuit, arguing Governor Kay Ivey and Alabama Department of Corrections Commissioner John Hamm were protected by state sovereign immunity. Emily Early, Associate Director of the Center for Constitutional Rights' Southern Regional Office, joins Rattling the Bars to discuss the lawsuit and the plaintiffs' ongoing fight to have their case appealed.

ABOUT THIS VIDEO:
#twi #akan the clip for today's MDR is taken from the Twi interview: https://youtu.be/ubTz9NS1kTc?si=6TS-YZJfVFxzviaC. On this channel, you'll find lots of youth-centric interviews, mainly conducted in Ghana's capital Accra. It is, thus, not uncommon to hear a lot of code-mixing, slangs, pidgin, and other youthful expressions in the interviews, which is representative of how young people in the urban centers of Ghana generally speak.
