This makes me very emotional. Finally Africans can live a better life. God bless AES/Africa. Thank you for this weekly coverage.
One the card it shows "Africa's BRICS dilemma", but Africa's intellectual dilemma though .. The African intellectual condition that results to falling faithful to a certain political lifestyle, class, theory and protocol, rather than being pragmatic to what really affects and matters to the people, respect to the wellbeing of the "demos".
"Demos", are Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger AES. That's where it's about nothing but the people's needs and improving livelihoods. What can AU and Ecowas' blatant adversity towards AES be other than worries that AES nations have accomplished for their people what most of them ecowas and many other African countries couldn't since independence. Now crying over a word democracy as if the word alone is a formidable magic cult?
poli.cracy, blind war lobbying and be.easi.ness, so concerning and regrettable remains to sounds in the language of AU and Ecowas. Africa has an intellectual dilemma instead of a BRICS' one Colonialism for one of it's calamities had long since got many Africans spellbound, that yes indeed, Africans lack the collective "iq" in order to do anything meaningful and useful to their common livelihoods. It's evident lo and behold that many Africans by representation are proving the latter to be true, all because of – you've to dress in a way that inspires nothing but laziness from set and by design. As if the AES accomplishing that much infrastructure in such a very short time is should be cursed because of military fatigue? That is a high alert intellectual emergency in African nations
Peoples power and energy independence.
Nigerian vice president 1985 Tunde IDIAGBON introduced Peoples' Power when all Nigerian citizen were mandated to clean the nation every weekend, the program was effective and progressing, which at the time reduced the number of Malaria patience due to the clean environment reducing government hospitals costs before the greedy IBB took over the government whilst Tunde Idiagbon was paying pilgrimage. IBB had the audacity to tell Nigerians last year 2024 about the troubling issues with Nigeria. IBB reign compounded Nigeria problem when he over throw the recent deceased Mohammed Buhari & Tunde Idiagbon government, IBB IMF Loan devalued the Naira which was stronger than Ā£ and twice the $ value, IMF loan conditions are still affecting Nigerians till date since Mr. Bill Gates can acquired Nigeria Health Care System and Agriculture as Nigerians Rights have been PRIVATIZED without the knowledge of Nigerians, before IBB regime Nigeria borrowed monies to most Africa countries that required financial assistant including SA ANC party during the apartheid government. Ajaokuta Steel Rolling Mill project stopped at 95% completion, Obasanjo auctioned it out to his India friend. Why is Nigeria crude oil shipped & refined in Malta when Nigeria refineries, Kaduna, Port Harcourt & Warri are sitting ideal. Ahmed Tinubu, 95 yrs old, refinery located in Malta creates employment in Malta and refines low standard quality products while 3 Nigeria refineries are left to rot. WHAT KIND OF LEADERS DO AFRICAN COUNTRIES HAVE. THANK GOODNESS TO THE SAHEL STATES – EBRAHIM TRAORE etc – These old folks representing African countries are way passed the expiry date and need to move aside for confident and unscared young Africans be it military or civilian to take Africa further. UNITED STATES OF AFRICA IS WAY OVERDUE with the capital in Central Africa for military and security reasons. AFRICA INTEGRATION IS THE ONLY WAY FORWARD IF AFRICA WANT TO COMMAND RESPECT.
We pay too much taxes in Canada please save us
Well analyse
The Africa we have been waiting for is here. It is ours to BUILD and it is ours to DEFEND and enjoy. What a time to be alive as an African!!. The next move should be unity and building our defense system
Check your facts.Uranium is mainly in Niger
Nuclear Independence is the Gateway to massive Industrialisation. Thank you Africa Today for your unique Analysis and energising awakening.
Excellent analysis and presentation! Harambe Africa!!!
Most of africa trades very little with the US the tariffs mean nothing unless you live in South Africa.
Brother, the world needs to hear this! Sky news and the rest of the west need to know that BRICS overthrows NATO and its allies by 55% in the world. Africa Unite!!!!
Trump's supremacist policies of selective sanctions are a blessing in disguise. They will push African countries to seek alternative paths, assert their sovereignty and self reliance!
Thank you sir
All of the followings are very important. You cannot have one without the others. Just like the five life essentials: water, food, shelter, sunlight and Air.
All of the above fullstop
We're finally getting truly independent and it's heartwarming. God bless president IB ā¤ā¤ā¤
AFRICA YOU HAVE THE POWER. USE IT.
Well done! And thank you.
Please, can you do a report on Bill Gates current moves to control food production in Nigeria?
All of the above!!!

The ppl wower movement inspires me in australia after spending 11 living with no power in a tent to just start building a city…and stand with a gun when justice turns up to call it a crime…. ill right Africal soul sir…sover7gn our lands be…š cas u know..im gold backed ozz gold prosoector..brics in national parks global fall.
Africa should take control over all the mines in Africa . There should be no foreign countries or companies mining in Africa . All foreign countries should buy what they want but never have any control in Africa .
Iāve noticed when the white colonized Africa it was a prosperous continent. Now that the blacks are in charge, itās a shit hole.
BURKINA FASO'S DISCOVERY OF AN OCEAN UNDER THE SAHARA AND SUB-SAHARA AFRICAN REGION! THE DESERT AREAS OF AFRICA ARE TURNING BACK INTO ("THE GARDEN OF EDEN"- "PARADISE")! PROPHECY AWAKENING INTO OUR LIVES TODAY! AMEN!
People power
Resources under control first
Well done brother one love from Africa Angola Luanda ā¤š
It's so nice to see Africa RISE! May God continue to bless President Traore! God bless Africa!
Thank you for sharing information.
Burkina Faso ONCE AGAIN teaches the World the wonders of socialism… The Power of the state IS the Power of the people and theyre showing us, everyone as they can, everyone as they need.
No one move is more important than the other. They are simply 4 powerful steps in the correct direction to gain freedom from outside control. All four moves are needed. To when in chess you must make several moves, and they are all important. So I would say that the question is not which move is the best move, but are these solid strategic moves, and I would say āyesā, absolutely. And as my ancestry shows 100 percent Burkinabeā, I am proud and love what i am seeing and I cannot wait to see how I can also be instrumental in helping my people and others secure their sovereignty. My humble opinion.
First educate yourself and then make videos.
BRICS and CHINA are not synonyms. They are not same.
If some Afrikans or Afrikan nations are more interested in China, no problem. Their choice.
But you should not mess up things when you are explaining to give clarity to your people.
many people outside of Africa continent is now following Burkina Faso because of their great leader, Pres.Ibrahim Traore. Long live your president! Love from the Philippines ā¤
I believe that at this moment that resource sovereignty is more important. These people need to feel like they have the right to control and manage all the natural resources in their country.
Incredible breakdown these four strategic moves show Africaās rising agency on the world stage and how bold, coordinated actions can truly upend the old order. Canāt wait to see how this new era unfolds!
Time to buy my land in Africa ššš. Let's go motherland!
There's however the technical challenge of keeping the nuclear plants cool in a desert.
"Coerce" (to force through aggressive manipulation)… not "cohes" (a non-existent word)
Iām from Burkina Faso. We were told to wait, to beg, to obey. But not anymore. Weāre building with our own hands, our own minds, our own pride. This is not just development ā itās liberation. And weāre just getting started.
God bless Africa
the people power
Why Nuclear Power? Most of western countries are backing out of nuclear power because itās unsafe and dangerous, there is also no way to dispose nuclear waste. On top it is the most expensive way of producing electricity. Sorry guys but that is really really bad. Burkina Faso has a lot of potential for renewable energy with solar power and cheap electricity.
Crazy that coming from china
Itās weird in US that basically the ONLY news is on Jeff Epstein the pedo pimp. The Dems control the media except Fox News but they all suck. Thank God āAfrica Todayā & for the internet. I just wish AI didnāt have so many fake channels with fake news. Itās a chore to sort thru real from fake news but Africa Today & Pana Genius are šÆ real. Thank you. š š
Kick Oprah out too
In this day and age, even with so many corrupt African leaders, there are going to be those that see the writing on the wall. With Ibrahim Traore being the hero leader he is and his age relatable to the African youth (which is the majority), with his expanding influence there are going to be African leaders who need to make decisions their people will respect, like joining BRICS. The west, in particularly, america, truly believe they own the world and they should be the only ones to enjoy life at other people's expense. The world needs to abandon the american dollar and trade. The world doesn't need america, america needs the world ! Viva AES
People power the driver to enable the other strategies to develop.
They are better off making a deal with trump for the time being trump is calling off The dogs from CIA so these countries can stopped being destroyed
From America…Go Africa! Trump (the orange psycho) is destroying our country…..don't let him destroy yours!!!! It's time the rest of the world gets the benefits for it's own people and not just a few who think they control the power of the world!!!
