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!

Slavery: The White Woman's Burden
White Women as Slave Owners

Today we're discussing Stephanie E. Jones-Rogers' work, They Were Her Property: White Women as Slave Owners in the American South. This work delves deep into the realities of white female slave ownerships, demonstrating the ways in which white women leveraged competing systems of oppression, particularly race and gender, to attain power, status, and wealth.

I think the debate would be pointless because Basic Logic’s agurments are all racist talking points from the 2010s and are have been debunked already. I proved this by dismantling his White Guilt video and telling the truth about the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade.

Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has issued a strong warning over Captain Ibrahim Traoré’s rejection of Sharia law in Burkina Faso — and the controversy is now attracting major attention across Africa.

In this latest Africa news analysis, we examine the growing clash between Sheikh Gumi and Burkina Faso’s leader Ibrahim Traoré over Sharia law, secular governance, religious freedom, national sovereignty and the future direction of Burkina Faso.

Traoré has made it clear that Burkina Faso will remain a secular state and that no religious law will supersede the country’s national legal framework. Recent reports say Sheikh Gumi criticized Traoré’s position and questioned his approach to the sensitive issue of religion and governance.

So why has this issue become so controversial?

What does Traoré’s position mean for Burkina Faso, the wider Sahel and the Alliance of Sahel States?

Why is Sheikh Gumi challenging Traoré’s position?

And could this disagreement become part of a much larger debate about religion, sovereignty and political independence in West Africa?

This video provides a detailed analysis of the latest development and explains the wider implications for Burkina Faso, Nigeria, the Sahel region and Africa.

Watch until the end and share your opinion in the comments.

Do you agree with Ibrahim Traoré’s position on Sharia law in Burkina Faso, or do you agree with Sheikh Gumi?

Dr. Gad Barnea is not your typical Bible scholar—he’s reshaping how we view ancient Judaism and the Hebrew Bible, tackling one of its core assumptions: that Moses and his story are older than the 4th century BCE. As a Lecturer in Jewish History and Biblical Studies at the University of Haifa and a Research Fellow at the École biblique et archéologique Française, Dr. Barnea focuses on Yahwism under the “Iranian Age of Empires,” exploring how Persian rule and Zoroastrianism likely shaped early Judaism, suggesting the Moses narrative may have emerged far later than commonly thought.Beyond texts, Barnea has uncovered a groundbreaking ostracon from Elephantine, the earliest known Jewish curse text, and evidence of a Jewish priestess—a revelation about ancient Jewish rituals. He’s also restored a Qumran scroll (4Q550) containing a forgotten Achaemenid court tale, set to release with Brill, and co-edits a book on “Yahwism under the Achaemenid Empire.”With years of tech experience, Barnea is also advancing Digital Humanities, making biblical studies accessible and transforming how we understand figures like Moses in light of hellenistic influences.overing a history that reshapes our understanding of the Bible and Moses himself.Dr. Gad Barnea linksAcademia - https://haifa.academia.edu/gadbarneaHis new book free open access - https://www.degruyter.com/docu....ment/doi/10.1515/978 the other awesome interview with Dr. Gad Barnea on @GnosticInformant https://youtu.be/ZEEhqRxfFck?si=i8iK20IDP6J0ZYmz
