I think subtlety went out the window years ago. A person has to willfully ignore reality in order to believe any of the crap coming from our world 'leaders'.
Yes,considering what Trump has just declared SUBTLE is yesterday. I felt like responding (at my radio) "You and whose Army!" then I remembered,Oh That Army...
I've bought your book on audible. We,in GB are being taken down the destruction of private property route. Most people don't know it but I have read about it and the process is underway but I couldn't explain it to anyone as I don't have that sort of education. And people would laugh! But there are people who see it and I've read them and they are right. Also here in Britain the sort of liberal,metropolitan ,equal rights (if your face fits) libertarian type luvvies who tend to be writers + performed HATE Singapore and regarding it as the worst sort of,most oppressive place on earth. This despite that they with their nasty stupid "art",they made TV shows I don't watch + books don't read,make sure to make enough money to live in the parts of town where the Napoleons in Rags can't access. Sorry this post I not about Africa as such,but in a way all these issues are universal,and plenty of people from Africa are now coming to GB in hopes of a proper stable life but this is having the effect of destabilising our society,though some think that was the intention anyway. If so it's not the migrants fault,we are all contributing to a world system in ways we are not even conscious of.
While I agree with much of the article; yes Africa needs more action and less rhetoric; needs to create a better and more coherent business climate; greater stability and climate for businesses to thrive. All these are definitely a step in the right direction.
Let us not discount the need for our autonomy. Do we have a learning curve to success? Yes. It may not be smooth or easy at first but I believe in time we will have to sink or swim. There is no substitute for owning your own future; revolution or coup per Burkina Faso starts the process if we have the wherewithal to continue! There is no substitute for freedom and autonomy.
What is the AES proposing in terms of solutions?! To be honest, all of IB’s speeches are more about imperialism and blaming the West than trying to solve our problems…
Not true. The captain Ibrahima Traore is doing amazing. In just about 2 years he's managed to move Burkina Faso economy forward, just like Thomas Sankara did.
Sadly. Some of us can never see any good that come out of us and are happy to see Africa enemies keep mistreating Africa and Africans. Some of us are so negative, they have become our own worst enemies. Strongmen like Ctn Ibrahima Traore, Gl Goita and Tchiani are right now risking their lives fighting and protecting Africans, fighting terrorists, created by America and Europe. while some of us criticise and poo on them on behalf of their colonial masters.What a pity!
If you will, is there not some intermediary stage for a young country between poverty or lack of infrastructure and small businessman dominance? Is an agricultural economy not ok for a time? Bustling cities are an outgrowth of big plans but to get one's bearings and to establish a direction may require protectionism and even a strong man for a while. What say you?
At some point, Africa must wage a Second War of Decolonization. China is strategically buying farmland, making loans for infrastructure they seize when it can’t be paid for, and is being settled by Chinese colonists.
While I appreciate your fighting spirit for the poor Maguatte, I must say everyone will be judged by the fruit they produce. So let revolutionaries use their fighting methods while you use yours.
I am afraid your fight is starting to be too laced with too much complains, rhetoric and critics of others who are fighting the same fight than you.
The fight is the same: total liberation and total economic independence for Africa and the Africans, but the methods of getting there might be different from the many African warriors and heroes of Africa, who sometimes are willing to put their lives at risk for Africa to progress.
Here is wisdom: Protection first, then build, then maintain. That is what the the wise Africans see in the brave Captain Ibrahima Traoré, General Assimi Goita and General Tchiani.
Remember even if you have a business or economical power, if you have no insurance and mighty security or army to protect your business or your nation against theft, looting or robbery or invasion, you will soon perish.
Just to add: Captain Ibrahima Traore has invited all the members of the African diaspora, to come and invest in Burkina Faso, if they wish to do so. This invitation was speeched during the eminent Dr Chihombori Quao visit to the country, recently. Let us see who is brave and go help our brothers and sisters get some jobs!
" Speeches don't create jobs. Rhetoric doesn't build factories."
I wish American politicians knew this. Chances are, they do. They just don't care.
It is a worldwide situation now,just more subtle (for now) in "the West".

stop bashing our heroes on behalf of our enemies.
It’s all propaganda. This is a typical strongman move. Go to Burkina Faso to see if they’re better economically or not.

Wrote this a while back. I think this neocolonialist meme is largely prevalent amongst African elites and immigrants to the West.
