Nsuo taa aponkyereni aa, ogue wuoo! These people are tired of being controlled by their colonial masters. They want true independence. Kudos to cpt. Ibrahim Traore and Co! May Almighty God continue to protect and bless your families. You have demonstrated that good governance is possible in Africa.

What is true independence? Having Russia as the new colonial master is not true independence. Not even close.

But this is not stealing their resources like the other, that is what true independence means.

It's not enough to repeat what you hear on BBC, you need to find out about the situation in the country. it shows that you don't understand anything or it's just bad faith that you are showing, they needed the support of a member of the security council otherwise France would have put them under embargo or would have intervened as in Libya or the Ivory Coast, go find out about the different resolutions that France tried to pass to the Security Council on these different countries and you will understand the importance of Russia.

Akufo Addo didn't only messed up Ghana, he messed up as Ecowas chairman. After Bawumia was chased from Zimbabwe for messing up their economy, he has also succeeded in messing up Ghana's economy.

Why should they be part of ECOWAS. The guys are fighting Islamic terrorists and no ECOWAS country has come to their aid. ECOMOG should have been fighting those terrorists not Burkina forces alone. What is the essence of ECOWAS if they cannot work together to ensure there is peace?

I agree 100% with you and I guess disengaging from these pointless neocolonial regional groupings is the first step towards a more meaningful African Union.

Three cheers for our gallant Sahelian boys.

Those 3 countries mean serious business to change the narratives about their respective people and destiny.
Our Horrible Parliamentarians in Ghana are good in following without leadership mentality, and speaking of English long and big words that even the true owners of the English language refrain from their usage, in addition to looting and stealing and corruption.

The leader in Burkina Faso is fighting to stay on power because he has no clue as to how to fight the Islamist who have vowed to take over the country. Try to follow what is happening in that country. Couple of weeks ago, he issued an executive order to allow civilians to arm themselves due to unrelenting incursion of Islamist fighters.

Remember that he ousted the civilian leader of not being able to take on the Islamist and has he won the fight the against the insurgents?

How exactly have Francophone countries benefitted from the yoke of France and the west???? Your argument is porous and at best completely baseless.

Why did Traore or whatever his name is stage the coup in Burkina Faso? He told his people that the president couldn't fight the Islamic fighters who have sworn to destabilize the country, and has he won the fight? It is worse than before.

He is fighting to stay on power and his days are numbered. Who cares about his stupid posture of leaving the ECOWAS bloc? Ecowas should be firm and deal with that Traore because he is hanging on a thin straw.

Ibrahim traore is a fool. He is fighting ECOWAS while the insurgents are killing his people.Just last week over 200 Burkinabes were killed all he can do is issue non ECOWAS passport. How will it help safeguard his people.

Thank you, Joko. The guy doesn't know what he is doing, and trust me, anytime I go on the internet and see any news about Burkina Faso, I try to delve into it because they are our neighbors.

Africans MUST get rid of all these 60 and 70+ politicians and make this continentva superpower. Africa must deal with every country, and no western state must be allowed to dabble in African affairs. African money MUSTVstay in Africa just like western money stays in the west.

Commonsense. Keep talking to them for as long as it takes to come to a win win solution. Why do we constantly choose the most disastrous options?
