🌍 What happens when the leader of a nation sits down to answer the toughest questions from the next generation? Join Captain Ibrahim Traore in this historic and moving interview as he speaks directly with child journalists about the future of Burkina Faso and the African continent. This unique conversation goes beyond politics, diving into the personal values, struggles, and visions that are shaping a new era for West Africa.🌟 Throughout this special broadcast from the United States of Africa News Network, Captain Traore reflects on his humble beginnings and the discipline instilled by his parents. He addresses the critical challenges facing the nation today, including the fight against terrorism, the reopening of schools for displaced children, and the ambitious move toward a completely free education system. You will hear firsthand accounts of how the government is working to support orphans, include children with disabilities, and protect the fundamental rights of every young citizen.🌾 A powerful segment of the interview focuses on food self-sufficiency and reclaiming the African narrative. The President explains how colonial education often hid the true potential of African soil, and why it is vital to teach children the truth about their own resources. From growing wheat and cocoa to managing mineral wealth, this is a call to action for all Africans to embrace patriotism, integrity, and unity.Chapters0:00 Intro and Mission of Unity3:15 Childhood and Family Values7:50 Lessons from a Military Father12:30 Journey to Becoming an Officer17:00 Reopening Schools After Terrorism21:20 Building Modern and Inclusive Schools25:00 The Vision for Free Education28:15 Children Share Their Dreams32:45 Security Situation and Fighting Terrorism37:10 Supporting Orphans and Displaced Youth41:30 Defining Leadership and Integrity46:00 Cultivating Patriotism in Children50:15 Achieving Food Self-Sufficiency54:40 Debunking Colonial Myths About Resources58:00 Civic Duty and Environmental Hygiene1:00:15 Final Questions on Health and Child Rights1:02:10 Conclusion and Call to Action📢 We want to hear from you!

A new investigation has uncovered how the United Arab Emirates (UAE) supports a secret network of military training camps for the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) that enables them to continue their deadly war in Sudan.

"This war, which is often categorized in international media as a civil war, is really a proxy war," says award-winning journalist and documentary filmmaker Julia Steers. "We're talking about a really extensive network of logistics and training and financial backing from the UAE."

The investigation is a collaboration between Lighthouse Reports, Evident and Sudan War Monitor.

Meanwhile, as the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk warns another humanitarian catastrophe is unfolding the North Kordofan state capital of El Obeid, where the RSF and the Sudanese army are fighting for control, "there's no question that the RSF would not be able to have gotten as far as they have, to have claimed nearly as much territory as they have, without the really robust support of the UAE," says Steers.

On-the-ground reporting and open-source research reveals new details about the weapons trafficking and training that's fueling civil war in Sudan. Lighthouse Reports, Sudan War Monitor, Evident, and a consortium of journalists worldwide collaborated for over a year to unveil the depth of meddling by other countries in this bloody conflict. Our investigation shows how a Middle East power — and American partner — is pulling the strings from the shadows.
