When Donald Trump was reelected President of the United States, one of his first actions was to deport immigrants—especially Africans—whom he has consistently viewed as problematic.
Surprisingly, not a single African leader spoke out in protest—except one: Captain Ibrahim Traoré.
Traoré first demanded the return of Africa’s gold stored in the West, a bold move we discussed in a previous video. Now, he’s stunned the global stage again—this time by wiping out all of Burkina Faso’s national debt.
Imagine this: a small, landlocked African nation that rarely makes international headlines, known neither for oil wealth nor bustling metropolises, and often labeled among the poorest countries in the world, suddenly announces it’s cleared nearly $5 billion in debt.
No loans. No Western aid. No negotiations with global banks.
Sounds like fiction, right? But it’s not—it’s real.
Burkina Faso just did the unthinkable, and it’s left many global powers completely baffled.
Why? Because there’s a deeply rooted belief that African nations can’t thrive without external help—whether through loans, grants, or foreign guidance. But Burkina Faso just shattered that narrative.
They didn’t wait for permission. They didn’t beg. They simply acted—on their own terms.
So how did they do it?
In 2024, Prime Minister Dr. Apollinaire Kyelem de Tambela made a groundbreaking announcement: Burkina Faso had paid off $4.79 billion in domestic debt. No involvement from the IMF, no World Bank funding, and no conditions attached.
Rather than follow the typical path of dependency, they looked inward—relying on their people, their resources, and their economic strength.
While the world doubted them, they focused on building something revolutionary.
Here’s where it gets interesting: Burkina Faso, a landlocked nation often overlooked in global affairs, decided to address its debt crisis by engaging its own citizens.
Instead of seeking loans from abroad, the government turned to its people.
They launched a campaign to sell government bonds—essentially promises to pay back borrowed money with interest—to local banks, businesses, and everyday citizens.
It was a bold strategy. Most governments wouldn’t think to ask regular people to help pay off billions in debt. But Traoré’s team understood something essential: if people believe in their nation’s direction, they’ll invest in its future.
And that’s exactly what happened.
What a great people,I sincerely hope you flourish & the idea spreads,AFRICA FOR AFRICANS!!
Romania did that same thing, announcing payment of all external debts in 1989… what was the result? Ceaușescu being killed in a power takeover by the same man who carried his bag for years: Iliescu, helped not by Russians, as they said at the time, but by all western powers and international companies which now own Romania…
No nation can be totally free from the world ruler elite… not USA, not Rusia, but the financial elite who dictate from the shadows which president is elected in which country, which country should receive a "democratic revolution" disguised change of power… etc
Everyone should notice this. We, the people, can change something only with leaders who love their countries and their people, and this is not statal selfishness, this is patriotism.
This is my opinion, after living both under Ceaușescu and in so called "democracy"…
Not bad for a Western Educated man, but unfortunately GREED WILL RAISE ITS UGLY HEAD, Addage= Power Corrupts, and Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely" We shall see.
I can't imagine President Treore being "upset" about Deporting illegal migrants back to their home countries. After all he's also a President of law and order is he not???
They never saw that coming. To God is all the Glory ❤
Africa must find a leader like this for every state in Africa to keep the target off of him. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Join Ibrahim now! United States of Africa
Can people from the US invest in those bonds?
Nothing complicating here actually. Burkina Faso has shifted to a new benefactor. Going by the clues it is either Saudi Arabia or China.
Patrice LaMumba was the George Washington of Africa and the CIA plotted and enabled his assasination. Thomas Sankara might be the Thomas Jefferson of Africa, and while there is no direct evidence of CIA envolvement, I believe they enabled the faction which did it. Now, Ibrahim Traore appears to be the Abraham Lincoln of Africa. If there is a god of some kind, I really hope it protects Ibrahim. He will need it.
but i think you forgot about one important information Africa can not feed herself and there is no good medicine then if he and other want be independent simple move is cutting food aid and medical aid next step is cutting arm aid and fight on spear and bow you think what happend after that if you cut mine country from everything we survive but we have agriculture and a lot of industry (medical included) Africa doesn't have it
This podcast leads off with a lie! Why? President Trump didn’t lead of his Administration with targeting African Nations. What about the CCP and their BELT&ROAD money trap? And their predator practices? I’m sorry that this attack on the POTUS was without the truth….but it is what it is…..
Governments and leaders like these give me hope that humanity's future is not totally trashed 🙏
Sit down boy😂
Africans were not singled out in America. Only thoughts who crossed the borders illegally were singled out for deportation. If illegally enter any other nation i would be imprisoned or deported as a matter of law. I ask you why do you suggest America be different?
White Lives Matter 💯🙏
Thank You President Trump and A-Team 💯🙏
Way to go BF ! Quite an inspiring story. Thank you Captain!
Good luck Africa. The idea that they need to rely on white countries well…. surprise their rich small and worthy of so much!!! May the goodness of the universe protect you 😊
That was smart, sorry 😊
What is up with that bell?!?!? Way to loud!!!!!!😢
How shameful America do whats Right😢🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
The West always made Africa believe that we cannot live without them. the West need to wake up because the power has shifted in Africa's way. Our leaders need to wake up and take notes from this brilliant leader. We have everything to survive without the West. Africa Help Africa
What you did is an inspection to us all . God bless your country .
I really like the way they are going and really hope that the US wount bomb all to bits just because an instable country is easyer to control . They dont want new partners , they want more puppets. Best of luck and be carefull.
you can tell he's not coming from corruption and greed, but you can tell the leaders who are, they sit back taking in the payouts while their people suffer then blame the white man when they are equally at fault. Ibrahim Tarore is a Leader that knows.
So wtf does this have anything to do with trump ??????
