In other words, they give their culture but not their education, they give their religion but not their knowledge of the truth. They give their loans and weapons in exchange for our wealth and resources. Africans trusted them but they are despised and deceived to be subjugated and ridiculed. Now Africans say enough is enough. We are rich in wealth and resources, what our ancestors haved left for us. We are the wealth and resources that we offer to the whole world, but they do not allow us because we did not know what we had and what its value was. Instead of showing them the way, they took the privileged and stole almost everything from them
to keep them in the same position so that they could repeat themselves.
Wow, unbelievable.
No wonder Africa says enough is enough. We would not allow you
to continue to fool us.
The President of Bukin Faso
is making this known to them and the whole world by exposing them so that they know who the real thieves are.

IBRAHIM TRAORE THE ANCIENTS TRUTH IS WHAT YOU HAVE PROVEN RIGHT"" IF GOD BE FOR YOU WHO CAN BE AGAINST YOU.""
When will Africa Learn Ya Something….Wealth is Natural Resources.
AU since long time no outcome the puppets gets richer people are suffering
Call out all puppets and their puppet master's
OAU and now AU and after a while A and after grave traitors who formed this organization are under UN may be , what african people have to do with AU what good AU did since was established. african people wake up and join true revolutionary leaders to fight against western power which introduced modern slaves through AU that benefit some people only and not majority
The wise man has always said that "Good shall prevail over evil."
I'm sick and tired of the West and hope the Almighty will punish it forever. And we Africans can't afford to lose him! There will be no more Pan-African revolutionary if we don't support it in some way!
I'm retired at 47, This video here reminds me of my transformation from a nobody to having over 65,000 biweekly profit, a honest partner and a good daughter full of love ❤
AU is a criminal organization which was created by the West to control and divide Africa united Africa wins that's all
Thank you God for beloved captain Traore. More love, wisdom & protection grant unto him please God.
Very admirable young leader ❤
AU is western puppet and dead man walking
May ALLAAH protect you from all evil. Salute from southern greater somalia ☝🏼🥷🏼,🫡
