We could spend a full day just listing the atrocities committed by the West against Africa, and yet today, the same West, which refuses to take responsibility or make amends for even half of these atrocities, continues to advertise itself as a “friend” of Africa.
In this report for The Spearhead, Okorie Uche sheds light on the Voulet-Chanoine Mission, where a French military officer with a touch of genuine madness wreaked havoc across the Chad Basin.
Burkina Faso Set To Complete First Construction Phase Of Ouagadougou-Bobo Dioulasso Expressway
This July, the Burkinabé Government mobilized roughly $352 million for the completion of the first construction phase of the Ouagadougou-Bobo Dioulasso Expressway – long promised by previous, Western-aligned administrations – which will link the country’s capital, Ouagadougou, to its economic and cultural hub, Bobo Dioulasso.
Under the leadership of Captain Ibrahim Traoré, Burkina Faso continues to show the rest of the African continent that rapid national development is not and has never been rocket science, and that the reason why most of Africa is not currently experiencing rapid development, is that most of Africa has yet to take the very important decision that Burkina Faso took in September 2022.

Foreign Influence: Nigeria’s SEC Orders Firms To Cut Ties With Iran, North Korea

Indonesian Goes Off on European Tourists in Bali
