Burkina Faso’s military government under Ibrahim Traore is tightening state control over the country’s multi-billion-dollar gold industry, reshaping ownership and reducing foreign dominance in the sector. Reports suggest more industrial gold mines are now controlled by Burkinabe companies and the state, while new mining reforms aim to keep more profits inside the country. Traore’s administration is also building a sovereign investment fund to channel gold revenues into long-term industrial development. The strategy comes as Burkina Faso battles insecurity and rising economic pressure. Analysts say the country is becoming one of the clearest examples of Africa’s growing wave of resource nationalism.

It would be advantageous if he took control of all the mines and on special cases, old 59% of mines.
Thanks for nothing imperialist France
Yes. African resources belong to Africans. White European and western countries have been stealing our resources for centuries. No more!!!!
very good president, not that france and Uk puppet in nigeria………. creeminal rulers
About time the French got kicked out because Burkina Faso's gold should always have been their's NOT the colonial control like France. NO RISK. it didn't export IT WAS STOLEN. F*** off France.
Respect on his title, it's President Traore.

Ah no wonder why the west is working hard on trying to tarnish Captain Traore image and paint him as a dictator.
As usual you’re a “dictator” if you protect the sovereignty and resources of your non-white nation and a “hero” if you oppress and leave our people in poverty and instability as long as gold, lithium and uranium is flowing to The West.
As was said in Frank Herbert’s Dune, “The Spice must flow.”
Its like they are feeling the pain they won't be getting their gold necklaces again for cheap.
The journalist has been affected personally….
The western media is only happy when African kids die n labour in mines….now that there is control they feel the pain
President Mahama are you listening? Traore is young enough to be your son. Grow some Balls, don't renew the lease of GoldFields Ghana!!!
Thank God Thank God Thank God
