Africa Stands With Captain Ibrahim Traoré

Jul 27, 2026

On July 16, 2026, Burkina Faso President Captain Ibrahim Traoré paid a visit to the city of Ouahigouya in the Yaadga region of the country, and delivered a powerful address to the Burkinabé people, and the people of Africa as a whole.

An address which is presently sending shockwaves across Africa’s information space.

In this report for the Spearhead, Barra Hart shares his thoughts on 3 key moments from this address, and what they mean for Africa’s future.

A European Ambassador Has No Right To Lecture Ghana

In a blatant display of diplomatic overreach, outgoing Swiss Ambassador Simone Giger has attempted to lecture Ghana on its own governance. By publicly criticizing the centralization of power within the Ghanaian presidency, Giger has overstepped her role and insulted the nation’s sovereignty. It is time to end the cycle of Western diplomats dictating how African countries should be run; Ghana’s constitutional and political matters belong to Ghanaians alone.

CIA Officer: U.S. Military Bases Enable Child Trafficking

Former CIA officer Robert David Steele (1952-2021) claims in this clip from the 2020 documentary, ‘A Thousand Pieces,’ that the CIA uses US military bases around the world to smuggle gold, g*ns, dr*gs, cash, and children for US elites.

It should be noted that no one truly knows how many US military sites exist due to a lack of information from the US government. US military veteran and psychologist Monisha Rios estimates the figure in the thousands if any type of US military installation is included.

The crimes these bases enable is exactly why Africans must ardently oppose foreign military bases in Africa. Drop us a comment if you agree.

Conditions Worsen In Eastern DRC Despite US “Peace Deal”

7 months after US President Donald Trump brokered a “peace deal” between the DRC and Rwanda, Congo is still bleeding. Fighting continues in Eastern DRC between the Congolese army and the Rwanda-backed M23 militia, with over 60,000 displaced as of just this May, and several thousands more dead from either the violence or the Ebola outbreak confirmed by the DRC Health Ministry the same month.

And through it all, the US companies which secured access to the DRC’s critical mineral through Trump’s “peace deal” have continued to plunder the DRC, unperturbed by the crisis.

How much longer will Africa continue to fall for the West’s promises of “aid”, “partnership” and “peace”?

US-Based Climate NGO “Opposes” Kenya’s New Oil Refinery Project

To absolutely no-one’s surprise, US-based “environmental advocacy” NGO, Greenpeace, through its African chapter, Greenpeace Africa, has expressed its disapproval of a new oil refinery project in Kenya, which will be built by Dangote Group, and drastically reduce East Africa’s dependency on fuel imports.

In this report, The Spearhead examines the true motives behind this latest ideological assault on Africa’s push for energy wealth by one of its many self-proclaimed external saviors.

The United States, where Greenpeace is based, remains the 2nd largest environmental polluter, in terms of CO2 emissions, on Earth, while the entire African continent accounts for less than 4% of global greenhouse gas emissions.

British Military Training In Kenya Cancelled Amid Growing Public Anger

The Kenyan government has withheld licenses from the British Army Training Unit in Kenya (BATUK) for its 2026 training program in Kenya, amid public backlash.

This backlash is itself the consequence of increasing awareness, among Kenyans, Africans and the wider international community, about the true role of the British Army in the lives of ordinary Kenyans.

A role which has left a trail of misery and death in its wake.
