Captain Ibrahim Traore Wants To Step Down As President Of Burkina Faso, But The People Say No.
Captain Ibrahim Traore Wants To Step Down As President Of Burkina Faso, But The People Say No. Kwabena Ofori Osei 166 Views • 2 years ago

#africanews #ibrahimtraoré #burkinafaso

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.

Africa’s REAL Problem — Franck Zanu Breaks the Silence
Africa’s REAL Problem — Franck Zanu Breaks the Silence Ruler Ra 44 Views • 9 months ago

Franck Zanu of @FranckZanu joins the State of the Nation for one of the most explosive and thought-provoking conversations we’ve had all year.

Zanu — whose viral insights on Africa, culture, development and geopolitics have sparked global debate — confronts the ideas many leaders avoid:
• Why African countries continue to struggle economically
• What “culture” really means for development
• Why corruption isn’t the true root cause
• How colonialism is misunderstood
• Why South Africa’s political structure is destined for conflict
• The controversial “tribal nation” model he believes could save the continent
• And why Western countries secretly want Africa to succeed

This is not a conversation about blaming or excuses.
It’s a conversation about responsibility, culture, identity, and hard truths.

If you care about Africa’s future, South Africa’s political direction, or global geopolitics — you will not forget this episode.

✨ Tell us in the comments: Is Franck Zanu right or wrong?

The Petrodollar: How America Made the World Buy Oil in Fiat Dollars — And Trapped Everyone In It
The Petrodollar: How America Made the World Buy Oil in Fiat Dollars — And Trapped Everyone In It Kwabena Ofori Osei 44 Views • 3 months ago

In 1971, the United States cut the dollar loose from gold and gambled the entire global economy on a single question: what gives a piece of paper its value once the metal underneath is gone? The answer turned out to be oil — and the deal that made it happen was kept secret for forty-one years.

This is the story of the petrodollar: how a moment of weakness became the most durable instrument of power any nation has ever wielded. From the collapse of Bretton Woods and the Nixon Shock, to the 1973 oil embargo that quadrupled prices overnight, to the chain-smoking Wall Street bond trader who flew secretly into Saudi Arabia in 1974 to strike a deal that would anchor the dollar to the world's most essential commodity.

But this isn't just a story about American advantage. It's a story about a trap. We follow the petrodollars on their journey — from oil importers, into Gulf treasuries, through Western banks, and out as cheap dollar loans to the developing world. Then we watch Paul Volcker raise interest rates to nearly twenty percent and the bill reset overnight, triggering Latin America's "lost decade," sovereign defaults, and more than twenty million people pushed into extreme poverty.

We separate documented history from myth: the real secret Treasury bond arrangement versus the viral "single 1974 oil treaty" that never actually existed. We look honestly at the contested "petrodollar war theory" surrounding Iraq and Libya — what's proven, what's speculation, and why the truth refuses to be neat. And we examine whether the system is finally cracking, with the dollar's reserve share at a three-decade low, the rise of the petroyuan, and central banks quietly stacking gold.

How did America make the world buy oil in dollars? And who really got trapped in it?
