 You are watching Africa Reloaded. We celebrate this day in a context that is a little bit particular when the predecessors signified this context, the conflict. This conflict that we call on other things and the violent manifestation of barbaric imperialism, of neo-colonialism, of content slavery imposed on us today. Ibrahim Jorrei currently holds the position of Burkina Faso's president, the youngest president in Africa, having come into power through two coups within a span of nine months in January and September 2022. His rise to power occurred when he and a group of junior military officers overthrew Lieutenant Colonel Paul Henri Demeber, who himself had come to power through a coup in January. Captain Ibrahim Jorrei gained prominence after delivering a compelling speech at the Russia-Africa Economic and Humanitarian Forum in July. During his address, he emphasized the importance of sovereignty, food security, and recognition of Africa's significant historical contributions. Many have drawn parallels between Jorrei's message and the visionary ideals of Burkina Faso's Pan-African leader, Thomas Sankara. This comparison highlighted how Jorrei's speech echoed Sankara's dedication to African self-reliance and progress. Addressing the younger generation directly, Ibrahim Jorrei reiterated his stance on the exploitation of Burkina Faso's valuable gold resources and the need for fair compensation. He also expressed concerns about the mechanization of mining procedures. Additionally, he highlighted the irony of a nation that cultivates tomatoes but still imports tomato paste, emphasizing the importance of developing local manufacturing capabilities. The youth are now on the artisanal sites of production. In the most vulnerable conditions, it may have happened in Europe or in America in the 1800s. When men enter galleries themselves and dig themselves out of the mines, our youth continue to live on during their lives. Today, we are trying to modernize a little. This is what we have created, the SONASPE, a society that will allow us to exploit and commercialize our precious resources, especially gold. While young people exploit, other people come to buy at a low price and contribute to nourish terrorism that comes out of the country without having any control, we decided to create this society to try to take control of our mining sites and allow young people who are more mechanized and respectful. Because this struggle that we face today against terrorism is not only done by weapons, but also by development. As long as the youth doesn't have jobs, it will always be tempting to go up there to have money. And that's what we have to fight for. This is the place for me to give homage to all these young people who have committed themselves without a state of mind, who are now on the ground, in the rain, in the rain, in the mud, everywhere we ask them to leave. They are fighting on the ground to try to recover the land and give to this country what we call territorial integrity. And everyone at their level must also be able, sometimes take the Kalashnikov, take other things to participate in the development of this country. And that is what we believe in young people. I would say right away to the Marine that I was going to force my hand on these great economic operators of the country and I think some of them are there. So please, we will force our hand on you to create initiatives for young people. We have launched the APEC in this sense to create what we call our businesses that we want to put into place. Because we say that it is inconceivable that we can produce tomato here and that it is important for us to produce tomato paste. It is absurd that we have all the products we have imagined here and that we cannot transform them. We have launched this and I invite you to subscribe, to subscribe massively because we are going to create our businesses here on site and develop. Certainly, imperialist inspirations will try to turn you from the objective, but listen, aim very far. Think and see this conversation. Because the fight we are fighting is not only for the Burkina Faso but it is a fight for all of Africa. It is time that we wake up and that we are no longer brought to the ocean, to die to go and look for the Eldorado Tain Vante. We can create it here. Put your work and I think it is possible. Ibrahim Traurey's message centers around the idea that Burkina Faso and Africa as a whole should forge their own paths towards prosperity rather than relying on external sources. The people of Burkina Faso and Africa have high expectations for this emerging leader hoping that he will bring about the necessary transformations the continent needs. However, the question remains can Ibrahim Traurey succeed where many of his predecessors have failed? Share your thoughts in the comments.
