A power struggle in West Africa intensifies as an assassination plot against Burkina Faso’s leader, Ibrahim Traoré, unfolds. Former president Paul-Henri Sandaogo Damiba, accused of masterminding the attack, was arrested in Togo and reportedly sent back to Burkina Faso. The plan aimed to assassinate Traoré, eliminate senior junta leaders, and disable a key drone base, originating from abroad, but was thwarted before execution. A senior air force officer confessed to involvement, allegedly receiving funds for the coup, with some financing traced back to Ivory Coast, which denies involvement. Arrests continue as Burkina Faso claims the threat is neutralised, yet risks linger.

International Public Notice: Accounting for World Gold Reserves
By Anna Von Reitz
Remember how U.S. Troops were ordered into Libya all of a sudden? How Gaddafi was captured and murdered? And then everything went silent? It was all "Tut, tut….move along, nothing to see here."?
After years of being a critic of the Western Colonial Empire, Gaddafi went too far. He suggested that African countries do something that America once did — form a Union, issue a single gold-backed currency, and act in mutual self-interest.
This African Union would be an instant economic juggernaut, enabling African countries to engage their own resources for their own benefit.
Imagine that?
That's why Muammar Gaddafi was murdered, disrespectfully, in the street, while cameras rolled.
And now, Gaddafi's son is asking the leaders of the "beneficial humanitarian intervention" led by NATO and France, where Libya's gold went?

And guess what — the "heroes" purportedly liberating Libya — liberated their gold instead.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LF-OpBrYIPE
And they left Libya in ruins. No grand humanitarian rescue, no, nothing like that. Orphaned children, widows, destroyed infrastructure, instead.
But Europe's central banks mysteriously balanced their books and looked healthy again.

The strange thing, folks, is not that the European central banks would use unknowing mercenaries to attack Libya and steal gold belonging to comparatively poor people.
The same NATO players and the same unwitting mercenaries had already done the same thing, seven years before, in Iraq.
Iraq's gold reserves were stolen, too, but nobody talks about that.
We are left with the ironic flip-side of the joke.
Iraq's "weapons of mass destruction" were right under our noses, hidden in plain sight. Oil resources could be "weaponized" in a commercial war designed to end the Petrodollar monopoly. Gold resources could similarly be deployed.
So NATO and G.W. Bush decided to steal these "weapons of mass destruction" and benefit themselves.
Our soldiers and sailors didn't know that they were being used as cheap mercenaries engaged in illegal and immoral asset confiscation. They thought they were part of an honest military. They were told they were defending against a threat to their country.
We didn't say they were smart. We said they weren't told.
The vast majority of U.S. troops in Iraq and Libya, both, didn't know their actual role in either one of these attacks.
Just like they didn't know that the artillery shells they were using were full of deadly nuclear waste that was polluting the whole region — and serving to kill them, too, via exposure to this unseen pollution.
They just tried to use other mercenaries to steal Burkina Faso's gold, too. It didn't work out so well.

Things only got worse. France wasn't about to give up its colonial holdings in the Sahel region of West Africa without a fight. So they sought to encircle Burkina Faso and bully their way back into power that was never theirs. Vladimir Putin, not NATO, stood firm, making it impossible for France to force either regime change or direct military intervention.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljz9L7UHVXo
Colonialism in Africa, including the modern form of Corporate Feudalism, has been a plague, a constant pernicious asset stripping operation that has sought to cripple the economies of entire nations and reduce African countries to a condition of dependence and helplessness, a circumstance which has consigned generations of African people to poverty, pollution, and loss of self-determination.
We applaud the Sahel for its determination to live free, to use its resources first and foremost for the benefit of their own people, and to choose their own future.
We wish the nations of the Sahel peace and plenty and self-determination. We shame those governments — aka, commercial mercenary corporations — in Europe which have mercilessly and recklessly preyed upon nations and people who have only sought fairness and respect, reliable business partners, and a future worth living for. They have nobody to blame, and that includes blaming Vladimir Putin.
They have, and they have always had, the option of treating the nations of the Sahel as equals, owed care, consideration, respect, and fairness. It's their fault and on France's account, that they have not updated and corrected their predatory behavior.
