Captain Ibrahim Traoré has taken another bold step to expand Burkina Faso’s control over its gold resources by strengthening the role of the country’s state-owned mining company, SOPAMIB. Meanwhile, Ghana—Africa’s largest gold producer—continues to debate the future of its mining industry and the role of the state in managing strategic natural resources.
In this video, we examine the different approaches taken by Burkina Faso and Ghana, the debate over state participation in gold mining, the future of Gold Fields Ghana’s lease, and whether greater state ownership could help Ghana retain more value from its mineral wealth. Is Burkina Faso setting an example that Ghana should consider, or are the challenges more complex? Join the conversation and share your thoughts in the comments.

Ghana is still firmly under the control of nNATO countries. They're siphoning off all the wealth
See the difference…. Military and democratic government are not the same Tootum….. So for president Mahama to nationalized is not going to be easy…. The Don 🧏
Sad. You are making excuses, blaming onseen hands and you are an analyst. You began by correctly stating that young Traore is kicking out the agents and representatives of the colonial and imperial sources of Africa's problem. How come you are pondering if it's juju or unseen hands causing the failing president not to know what to do. Perhaps, the current heads of state of Ghana and Nigeria should be banned from swallowing kenke and amala to stay awake and thinking. They are dull, and even incapable of copying from the AES young revolutionary leaders.
What’s happening behind the scenes is worse!
It's all by design.
Curtis I have, I have had the same feeling about Mahama and Ghana. Something is wrong Ghana is not in the AES. They cannot have one foot in and the other one out! Ghana is either all the way in or not! Mahama, could have been threatened or he is compromised. The AES has moved on. Traore is not an idiot! He is very streetwise and he knows by now. Traore has no time to worry about Ghana! Mahama is the President and he has shown him how to use the blueprint, it is now up to him. Burkina Faso and the rest of the Sahel has to move on!
No weapon formed against black folks will prosper.

That's why the other countries don't respect Ghana.our leaders can't take action.
Ghana lagging behind has always been an "UNSEEN ARM" 😢 SPOT ON.
Mahama is afraid to loose its so called loots/Investment kept in western banks hence his indecisiveness. What a shame. I always know mahama is very sly man and a big pretender. Real ghanians patriots must begun to look pass Mahama for real progress. Mahama must remember the oath he swore to God and to Ghana's constitution.
Africa should denounce all the false presidents & install One President once & for all already.. .Why is africa sleeping on this?? Elect & inaugurate One competent man or woman as prime minister of Africa. 1 president that oversees africa's resources , industry infrastructure, business economy, oversee homeland security , oversee national policy. Please Africa! I beg! The time of slavery is over! Cut out this division & border nonsense & ethnicity hatred the white lords has done & surgically cut it out!! Cut it out now! Ugh!.. Every flag in africa should become 1 flag once & for all !! Get it together, come together, pool together , merge together. Africa wake up. & wake up fast.. Vote for Capt. IB already! And help President IB give africa greatness & dignity & justice back to Africa.. President IB could achieve this quickly if it weren't for 7th century mindset puppet leaders in his way. A 21st century visionary Capt.IB is fighting against 6th century old fashion leaders incompetent to run their state affairs..
100000000% correct, nothing else needs to be said
You all need to start classes inthe public.
The problem with the so called ďemocraatically elected presidents in Afrka is the fear they have,econo.ically incompetent. They don't have the guts to do thinks and decisions on their own ,they wait for their masters to tell them on margins and rates of their currency s ,they are weak elements that destroys black man.
Long live the AES. How can you have the most arable lands in the world and gold and the minerals the world needs and still be in debt to Western banks?
He is not afraid he see others control and he can’t act like troare (all power is not in his hands )
Its the British

IT'S VERY INTERESTING TO HEAR WHAT YOU HAVE JUST EXPLAINED AND IT LEAVES ME WITH A VERY INQUISITIVE THOUGHT OVER THE RESOURCES 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Dramani Mahatma workds for the west. He is a Pan westernist not a Pan Africanist. He signed a EU military intelligence and security pact with the west that wants lbrahim Traore dead by any means possible and AES failing.
He brought French forces in Ghana which is a doorstep nest to Bakina Faso. He can host Macron on issues Macron could not vote on in the UN but avoid Ramaphosa who wants to elucidate issues that can affect African unity as he is championing the xenophobia accusation against RSA.
As such he can have the same mineral policies similar as that of lbrahim Traore. He can be rich out of his relationship with the west but cannot emulate Ibrahim Traore and the AES.
Acheampong once said:
Government can go, but the problems of the nation will still remain, unless the people as a whole change from their greed, avarice and other social evils that afflict us".
"Gen. I.K Acheampong, 1978".
Ghana government is a fake pan African liar Ghana it being led by traitors
I think the Ghana government, most of the MP'S, and the president of the JDM are members of the secret society of the Freemason. That's why they can't do anything to help Ghana and Ghanaian people. I believe that the British and American are RULING Ghana. Our government are cowards, they are afraid of the white man, and they treat them like children, everything they have to report to them.
