Powerful words from a true leader. 🗣️🇧🇫

Captain Ibrahim Traoré reminds us that freedom isn't given—it's built. Not with foreign aid, not with borrowed armies, not with imported food. But with our own hands, our own soil, our own minds.

Dependence is the enemy of sovereignty. And sovereignty is the foundation of dignity.

Africa must feed itself. Africa must defend itself. Africa must build its own future—or someone else will build it for them.

No people can be free if they depend on foreigners for their safety, food, or future.

Salute to Burkina Faso. Salute to the new Africa. ✊🏾🌍

There is no genocide of white "South Africans." Stop the delusion. You parasites still control over 70% of the land and wealth in a country you colonized, plundered, and brutalized. You don’t get to cry ‘victim’ while sitting on stolen soil soaked with African blood.

The so-called “white genocide” is a coward’s myth—pushed by racists terrified of justice. What you fear isn’t violence. It’s accountability. You fear the day when the land is returned, when the wealth is reclaimed, and when your stolen legacy crumbles.

You’ve lived fat off the theft and suffering of Black people for centuries. Now that the oppressed demand equity, you cry wolf. Miss us with the fake tears.

The real genocide happened to the real South Africans. And it didn’t end. It just evolved into poverty, landlessness, and economic servitude. So no—we’re not moved. Get off Africans' land or prepare for the consequences of history catching up.

Did you know that white people make up only 7% of the global population? This thought-provoking question was raised by Yaya, a biracial woman, in a viral social media video. She shared her surprise that so many people, herself included, were unaware of this fact. Yaya reflected on how such a small percentage holds disproportionate global influence, stressing that white supremacy persists not because the numbers support it, but because it is actively allowed. Her video sparked widespread conversations about power, privilege, and representation. If Black people are the global majority, how can African people, both on the continent and in the diaspora, unite to dismantle white supremacy and build a more equitable future?

Been listening to this interview with Kwame during work today, on my breaks and down time, and it really is lovely to hear this brilliant man speak! Highly recommend it if you have a spare half an hour!

Algiers the revolutionaries’ Mecca. A documentary in French made in 2017 about the role of Algeria helping other countries gain their independence after gaining its own independence in 1962.

“Muslims go to Mecca, Christians go to the Vatican and the revolutionary movement go to Algiers” Amilcar Cabral (the leader of the movement of liberation for Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde)

“A few months only after its independence Algeria open its doors to all the wretched of the earth. […] The first movement of liberation welcomed in Algeria is Nelson Mandela’s ANC. They are joined by representatives of Namibia and Rhodesia (Zimbabwe). They all fight against a power held by white people that exclude the Black majority. […] The next year other African movement of liberation join the Algerian capital, Mozambique, Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde, Angola. An activist solidarity move those groups of liberation all supported financially by Algeria who also give them military and diplomatic support. […] For the Algerian Ben Bella newly Independent African countries must give more support to those still fighting.”

“We fought for 7 and a half year against the most obstinate imperialism that ever existed. We have no right to just think about ourselves when people are dying in Angola, Mozambique and South Africa. But there is a price to pay. If we want our solidarity to be effective then we have to accept to all make sacrifices for African unity to not be a vain word.” Ahmed Ben Bella (first Algerian president)

The documentary also mentions Palestine, Vietnam and the Black Panthers (how they were welcomed and how it eventually ended bitterly (I personally understand both sides I understand why the Black Panthers hijacked a plane but I also understand why Algeria reacted badly because they were not told about it first so they were unable to prepare themselves to the potential violent reaction of the US). Algeria is not perfect we have a lot of issues but when it comes to the support against oppression against imperialism and colonialism I will forever be proud of where Algeria stands.

Captain Ibrahim Traoré, interim president of Burkina Faso, at the opening of the second session of the AES summit.

PART 1 -> PART 2

"[...] You have all certainly heard of the significant and impactful Arab Spring. That profound phenomenon which dramatically shook the entire geopolitics of the Arab world commencing from the Maghreb region in Africa all the way across to Asia which manifested itself with often disastrous consequences, deaths and divisions in some places and unprecedented political upheavals in others. And I think that all Africans should understand what this phenomenon is, where it comes from and what needs to be done to protect themselves from such a phenomenon. Unfortunately, we regret to note that some Africans are not waking up. And what I want to say is just my own thought, my analysis, which is that there is something coming to West Africa that I have called "the Black Winter". "The Black Winter" is coming. It will be a very, very cold winter indeed. A truly bloody winter. A profoundly deadly winter. You might understandably ask me why. Well, let me explain. When we founded the AES Confederation, we felt this cold coming. And every day that God gives us, we strive to find logs to light a fire. A fire that will warm the hearts of Africans. A fire that will warm the minds and the blood of Africans so we can unite around it. We have also made every effort to charge at the wolf, to try to use their skin, to make coats to protect ourselves from thecold of winter. We have strived to build mountains, great mountains, to break the winter wind that would otherwise fall upon our communities. Unfortunately, it must be acknowledged that some black people are there every day watering our logs with fresh water so they can't burn. They turn into wolves to make sure that we, the wolf seekers, cannot catch the wolf by surprise. When we want to build our mountains, they break the stones so that we cannot succeed. Yet, winter is coming. And when winter comes, should we allow those who fought against us to come seek shelter with our coats that we made, the mountains we built to protect ourselves from the winds, or even to warm themnselves with us around the fire? That is the question we must ask ourselves. So what will become of pan-Africanism when winter comes? Winter will come because war is spreading to West Africa. The imperialists are doing everything they can to set West Africa ablaze. But from the highest levels of the state to certain segments of the population, either we pretend not to see the danger coming or we ourselves are complicit in what is about to happen. Chaos could take hold. I said could take hold. A lot of people could die. We will slaughter each other in such a horrific way that during that time they will be there looting our resources and imposing their will. And those who survive this tragedy will have two choices. Either unite forever against imperialism or resign themselves to being slaves until they disappear. So we must prepare ourselves for the winter, the dark winter that is coming. We cannot understand that there are black people in West Africa, here, pray to God that the terrorists kill black populations. We cannot understand that cowardly heads of state hide behind the media, so-called "media", to discourage, insult and stir hatred among the people. [...] Others have closed their ears. They pretend not to hear the politics of study. Some peoples are content to remain colonized. They like this domination. If they're not calling on the imperialists, they're saying, "Come colonize us. We love being your slaves!" We often ask ourselves questions when we see these reactions. These so-called brainless intellectuals who spend all day engaging in debates with no dignity, with complete dishonesty, as if we can't see the reality of the examples right in front of us. There are plenty of examples. [...]"
