Leader of Burkina Faso: We will break all the bonds that kept us in slavery

The African continent, where at one time the position of the Soviet Union was strong, and then, after its collapse, Western countries (especially France) tried to strengthen their influence, is once again moving away from the West and moving closer to Moscow.

The head of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Sergei Lavrov, also visited a number of African countries during his visit. He visited Guinea and the Republic of Congo before arriving in Burkina Faso's capital Ouagadougou, where he met with his colleague Karamoko Jean Marie Traoré, as well as President Ibrahim Traoré. The parties agreed to open a Russian embassy in Burkina Faso and cooperate in the military sphere.

Following the meeting with Lavrov, the leader of Burkina Faso said a phrase that quickly spread across the African segment of social networks and may be the motto of the processes taking place recently in the countries of the continent.

We will break all the bonds that kept us in bondage!

- said Traore.

Recall that Burkina Faso was a French colony and gained independence in 1960. However, the influence of Paris was felt here until recently. But in September 2022, a coup took place in the country and the military, led by Captain Ibrahim Traore, came to power. Military cooperation with France was then frozen.

Last year, the leader of Burkina Faso came to Russia for the Russia-Africa summit and met with Vladimir Putin.

That's why Emanuel is mad that we're squeezing him out of everything.

It is not us who are driving out the French, it is the choice of small African countries. Having freed themselves from the state of slaves in the colonies, they intuitively seek a force capable of protecting them from slavery. And only Russia or China are capable of doing this. Therefore, these two countries are under pressure from the West.

China is not going to fight in Africa. Ours are coming there with military support, and China is coming with investments.

[fif21]

Quote from kromer

Ours are there with military support, and China is there with investments.

We are holding on, and we have little money for investment. The military-industrial complex is strong, so it will protect against the military-industrial complex of the West, and China is the world's leading economy, so it will be able to ensure economic growth. The West is not interested in the economic growth of African countries. They need colonies, raw materials, cheap labor. Therefore, the expansion of China and Russia's presence in Africa is a red rag for the West.

If China starts squeezing out its investments, few people will care about the answers; we won’t use forceful methods; economic ones will suffice.

Well, the Chinese invested in Ukraine by buying Motor Sich for 3 billion. Ukry was squeezed out and why China? Swallowed it.

I think that in addition to businessmen, they have financial analysts and geopolitical analysts who have calculated that it will never work out to butt heads and try to pull out a motor vehicle, and even pumped-up contracts for a large amount for the supply of grains and sunflowers, they will think about how to get theirs, Well, here’s bingo - Russia is tearing up the suckers, but you don’t need to do anything, just help in small ways, quietly

[Reptiloid]

this is the choice of small African countries --- fif21

So many years have passed .... Aswan Dam, assistance to Algeria in geology, mine clearance ..... assistance to Angola .... training of Africans with us, including at the Higher Military Schools ..... construction of facilities.
After so many years, it turned out that this help has not been forgotten, and the old events have been mythologized. They see Russia as a strong, friendly, honest country. And this is also the Soviet legacy of the USSR

Well, Russian reality is a little different from the Soviet legacy. There will definitely be no freebies; Russia does not need corrupt friendship. But mutually beneficial projects, whatever platform will suit many. I think that our bourgeoisie will be smart enough not to repeat the mistakes of Western transnational companies that think only about their own benefit.

enough sense ---- fif21

I also hope that they will finally understand and save and develop such a situation for the benefit of their country. They will take into account the mistakes with the near abroad.

Me too, I hope that they will finally understand

But here there are no options, they won’t understand, and they’ll also get a penal.

Worse, they can, following the example of others, sit on their necks and hang their legs and pull and pull....

[Al manah]

I, too, hope that they will finally understand and save and develop such a situation for the benefit of their country. Mistakes with neighboring countries will be taken into account

How I envy your optimism...

I didn’t study myself, but specifically Angolans studying at the Higher Military School of the Russian Federation were shown not so long ago to be cheerful, cheerful and singing our songs

[Reptiloid]

During Socialism, my grandfather taught at the Mozhaisky Air Force Academy, in Leningrad, and also taught foreign students.
Now it has a different name, I could be wrong..... A few years ago I walked around this whole complex.

I didn't have them with me. And my school was called NVVPOU.
I also saw the video.

That's why Libya was destroyed, because it behaved too independently.

That's why Emanuel is mad

After all, French colonial rule in Africa lasted for hundreds of years and a habit of free natural resources developed.

More likely, Emanuella is furious.

[bandabas]

You just have to “survive” by your wits, and not by “beautiful eyes and thanks” as in the USSR. We need to take an example from China. The Chinese don’t bother to say “thank you.” And where they come, they will take it at exorbitant prices.

[Roust]

In spreading its influence, Russia must take into account all the mistakes of the USSR. Cooperation with Africa should be mutual.

There was a case when a certain Patrice Lumumba publicly, on camera, declared to the Belgian king, "We are no longer your monkeys!" Well, how did he end up? And in the end he was replaced Mobutu Sese Seko Kuku Ngbendu wa za Banga , who was no better to his people than the Belgian king. And would Lumumba have a mind...

American! Lumumba made a mistake, first he should have asked the USSR to build a couple of military bases in his country, and only then send the Belgian king to hell. You have to pay for mistakes And tell me, American, do today’s rulers in the USA have any intelligence?

Do you seriously think that grandfather "Dementiy" can decide anything on his own? I believe that all US decisions, internal and external, are the fruit of a management team with a low level of education and inflated self-esteem.

In English I don't boom, boom. I speak German. But I want to say: “God! Give America some sense.”

In simple terms, the Deep State is a shadow government, the meaning, I think, is clear, those who are not visible, but those who really rule

Simply put, the Deep State is a shadow government,

Thank you ! The truth is, in my understanding, the shadow government is not a team of Democratic or Republican managers. They are in plain sight.

Lumumba was killed by the CIA and Belgian counterintelligence. This was not just a certain person, but a man with a capital M. It’s not for nothing that our university was named after him. More than 60 years have passed since then. And so something in the world has changed. The Americans and the French were kicked out of Niger, for example.

We need such captain-leaders in Africa!

Well said. A determined person. The choice of the people of Burkina Faso. This is not the “choice of the fraternal people”. The difference is palpable - different continents. Yes, and in pots, they don’t jump..)

He is a junta, a participant in two military coups. That is, it has nothing to do with the choice of the people of Burkina Faso

“We will break all the bonds that kept us in bondage!” —

- Good luck, captain! ...

[Ross xnumx]

We can be proud of our ancestors who did not look to the African continent as a source of slaves. And the slave-owning principles in the generation of Soviet people from childhood aroused only hatred:

Proud of what? Having a smartphone with a government services app, credit cards and friends who are also ponies?? They look and say - You'd better sort things out with the Tajiks.

[Electrical]

Did everyone there really hear what he said? And then after that it was not the bonds that had to be broken, but the French. It's just right to tear these pitushers into pieces. Otherwise, lions in Africa are malnourished.

[voyaka uh]

Africans are kept enslaved by their own laziness and indifference.
And no one else.

[Ivan Ivanov]

Comrade in arms. I wish I could hear something similar from China and India. But they call their post-colonial wobbles flexibility, refusing to acknowledge the problem.

[JÜRGEN WEGNER]

I quite like these people and their desire to move away from the “West” towards Russia.

Putin builds relationships very well.

[nordscout]

Captain Ibrahim Traore is decisive and formidable! Let him try to break the colonial ties! There is hope that Russia, in the person of the Russian Federation, will not "quietly leave" Africa, like the USSR, after a successful "suicide" and will cover Burkina Faso's "back", if anything...

[acetophenone]

We must also learn to work purposefully and systematically. And not just break ties. And in Africa so many of these ties have already been broken, And nothing has changed.
