As an American, it pisses me off that my country participates in these atrocities. I really wanted to Join the Air Force yet at the same time, things like this would have me question not only my Morality, but my integrity as a man.
This pisses me off so badly that we participate in this pillaging and plundering of Africa, makes me ashamed of the US and France too . They need to stand up rise up make a change they are responsible for their future No one else!, Fight with your last breath Better to die on your feet than to live on your knees . Plus all the wars in Africa you need to make that change as MJ said . You can do this don't back down
Your neocon warmongering government has been doing that kind of regime change for a long time. However, majority of the American people are good people.
Then Russia and China will conquer Africa... Africa needs development, both Economic and Financial Education for the natives... So that Africans will not need some external Foreign involvement
@stanleynkosikamthembu168 it definitely is a one way street because Europe control the puppet with the military bases they forced there now Africa is pushing these puppets out.
@@Dorian_sapiens I hope so too but in the United States the neocons/imperialists/military industrial complex/ruling class all remain very powerful, are in total control of US foreign policy and the $1 trillion defense budget (it's too low to them), know how to divide and conquer the voters by keeping us ignorant and distracted, are likely very sociopathic in nature and could care less about the people outside the US and probably care very little about US citizens (education, healthcare, and infrastructure are low priorities vs. weapon systems - high priority). They know how to lie and propagandize without shame knowing there's no one to hold them accountable. They want to go to war with any country they deem too powerful using false pretexts. They could care less if the majority of Americans are opposed.
The west fund and enable so call terrorist as a front to hide their pillaging actives and their military presence to protect their criminal activities.
@@afropoet Look my brother, if you speak in this manner that mean you are still in the slumber of the western tricks not ready for free Africa and the rest of humanity. I am a muslim from Nigeria north east working as humanitarian in my state Adamawa where boko haram activities is still going on despite the fact that it not bobbling as it used to be earlier, but I want to ask you a question on this please just to get some things right for both of us. Do you believe ISIS, ISUL ALshabab, boko haram, Alkaida and Syria separatists are representing Islam Muslims? While answering pls, don't go by the western tele and media claims on answering the question just use the greatest gift God ever given human which is your brain. Also I want you to understand that all these groups and those not mentioned but holding same goals were organized and being funded by the western government through their embassies in many countries mostly by the US and France. Terms like Islamists terrorists, extremists and many depend on their targeted locations, are just a corporate and hegemony slogans for the reason and justification to come in and steal resources Middle East and Africa mostly. Here at Lake Chad in Borno, there's a lot of oil and gas reservation and it's the caused of millions deaths under insurgency slogan supported by Israel and French weapons companies. Even the rebels in Congo where there are no Muslims and millions are killed by rebels groups and these groups are all supported by the western companies for the west to take away free resources while the Congolese are scattered by chaos these rebels groups caused and maintained. Remember, Rwanda Hutis and Tutsis the genocide was encouraged by the catholic which recently the pop apologised but those millions lost their lives will never return would they?. But I don't believe Africans and Asians will unit against the hegemony of the west while we are convinced and still contains their propaganda and evil slogans we only learn on their social media or their tv stations in our hearts. Recently, they used the same ISIS to attack Russia, and what was the response of Russia brother??? Russia said they are in war with the arrogance west through their established terrorists machineries which they name ISIS that operates as their hunting dogs that can be sent to prey all over the world. I will encourage all of us to read each others scriptures, myself I read the bible from genesis to revelation page by page verse by verse gently and I know who are the real followers of Christ commandments by the scripture passages not by a friend, tv or even a false preacher bro. I encourage you all to do the same to the Qurán, know the Muslims and Islam by it passages not by any organized group, tv, social media or false preacher among us. May God bless Africa and the rest of humanity.
The US and the Europeans have stolen tens of trillions of dollars worth of natural resources, as well as human resources through slavery from Africa, and they want to continue doing it forever and that’s why they are pissed off at China for stopping them from continuing to do it because once China has given Africa the opportunity to get paid full prices for its natural resources, instead of getting ripped off by the US and Europe, Africa can start building a better life for its people! But China goes well beyond simply paying Africa full prices for its natural resources, China actually builds infrastructures for Africa and even teaches Africa how to do it as well as improving Africa’s education system so that Africa would have the skills and talent it needs to improve the lives of its citizens and break away from the shackles that are imposed by the US and Europe! Now, most sane people would commend China for the good deeds that it has done for Africa, but not the US and Europe! Oh no! They are angry at China for paying Africa a much higher price for its natural resources as well as for wisening up the African people so that the US and Europe no longer could take advantage of the African people like they have for centuries!
I'm a white American living abroad. I visited Ghana in 1985. I was a guest of a student's family. I'm going to continue to support the African will to improve the life of its own people. We need to learn to listen.
But your elite leaders are very busy implementing the New World Order under WEF driven by UN which is controlled by your white people & forced upon Africans... Honestly speaking, the people of Africa have never /dont want to be part of your agenda in the world but we have been invaded & forced to do things that we dont want including being beaten to accept your gods & drop ours!! WHY?
It's nice to see some anti-imperialist resistance. ☺️ We need Africa to RISE UP. Their resources are for their people, not the criminal transnational thieves!
The Internationalist corporatocracy does not care for the people in their respective countries; they only care for the top 1% who look down on the common man as contaminants!
It's really astounding and amazing that a black African leader from one of the poorest lands on earth could summon so much courage to denounce the barbarian western imperialists led by the hated US by paying homage to the world revolutionary leaders most of whom were murdered by those enemies of humanity themselves!
He is not from the poorest country. He is from one of the richest countries categorised as the "poorest". As if plundering resources is not enough, they have endless development management researchers in these countries under the banner of International Aid agencies. The role of these agencies is to gather information that can be used to justify their continued interference.
No part of Africa is poor. It is pillaged by western countries and labelled poor so people do not question why Western countries are doing there if they are poor. The POOR tag is for the people without critical thinking.
Watching the rise of and awakening of younger African people gives me hope for the entire continent. Only a United Africa will finally end the imperialist past and current neocolonialism! Solidarity with Africans and the new generation!❤💪🏼✊🏼
Excellent video and well explained. Congrats to Burkina Faso 🇧🇫 finally they have the courage to protect their natural resources from the colonialism. My best wishes from Mexico

As an "anglo" in Quebec, Canada, I see the French colonialism in Africa and I want to STOP speaking French until France is OUT of Africa. There is a "Francophonie" like a sort of Commonwealth of all the countries where French is spoken. Some harsh "non-acceptance" needs to be practiced to rid Africa of the Western nonsense and really break free of ugly domination of White Europeans/Americans.
America is a displaced country. You got your independence from the British, instead of you helping Africa and letting them out of colonization, you got greedy and stick to France plan to colonize Africa. Such a useless country
Ben Norton - by speaking about the UN speech of Minister Bassolma Bazie, you are proving to all why your channel is above the rest! I listened to it in French and felt all the passions and sincerity of the speaker! This was a speech for the ages. A speech that will wake you up from your coma! One of those speeches coming from very special revolutionary leaders of the 50s and 60s. I listened to it at least 4x already, and each time felt incredible! Anyone who can listen to this speech (in French specially), please do so because it is truly special. Ben Norton, YOU ARE TRULY AMAZING!
Captain Ibrahim Traore survived the 17th coup attempt yesterday. Thanks to God almighty, much love from Nigeria. Soon, we will take our country back as well.
France companies have 1st option on government contracts, how is that allowed🤷🤷🤷 Doesn't France have any conscience, how can a country abuse another country like this. This is almost evil.
This made my day. I am 78 years old and a 40 year activist. so I had great hopes during the mid to late sixties and early seventies, only to see those hopes dashed by Western Powers led by the United States with the assissaination of some of our most revolutionary leaders here in the U. S and around the world, only a few survived and one of them was Fidel Castro, until his death, due to his exceptional insight into the machinations of imperialism, and the courage to resist, while under tremendous pressure, and the inhuman embargo, which saw many Cubans flee their country, but only the upper middel classes and wealthy cubans florished in the U.S. That many African people here in the U.S and around the world are not supporting this man, and his vision is shameful. As a black man, I salute you for highlighting this speech and bringing it to my attention. I feel much better today knowing that the War against imperialism has been revived in Africa.
Huge appreciation and profound respect for your impeccable reporting, Ben! You like many other truth-seeking, fearless and unprejudiced journalists of your top calibre are the world's only sources of unsullied dependable factual news! Having been so undaunted in your reporting career for a long while now is testimony enough that You are an incorruptible reporter abiding by your unshaken loftiest humanitarian principles. Many other promising reporters started their trade on a revolutionary tone, but before long became turncoats after receiving thirty pieces of silver from their erstwhile neocon targets. Long live truly independent and undaunted reporters!
Africa is awakening now and should unite and drive out the evil Western regimes, raping their countries' resources. May they succeed and prosper in peace and harmony.
Am Somalian I been watching a lot of this looting western countries been doing one thing I could never understand was how Africa is the richest continent but the poorest at the same time didn’t make since am new to your channel and I’m subscribe thanks for the news bro love from Minnesota
@@pausereflect5911We are not bothered by what happened to historic speeches made, and the fate those earlier Pan- Africanist faced as a result of trying to free Africa from tyranny. These injustices against Africa is simply unsustainable and unacceptable: Africa is not asking but assuming her God's given freedom. This time, not only the leaders but Africa as a whole is up to the task. The arrogant can go to hell, period!!!
I like and appreciate your commentary. Unlike other westerners who love to justify neo-colonialism and imperialism, you speak the facts in an unbiased manner. Well done!
The fight today is not about ideology like in the past. Today the struggle is about equal rights and justice. And we Africans know that we shall win. Cause we are confident in the victory! Good over evil.
Never been a ideology war always was westerners colonizing for the resources as an southamerica they took resources filling ships to Espain,England,(one ship found with gold worth more than 20 thousand million dollars as AA example , never was an ideology problem
@@AsscherMazzelaar a 🚢 was found sink in the sea of Colombia about 5 years ago the gold in that 🚢 is value over 20 thousand millions dollar, is just an example, history also say that Spain kidnapped the king of Peru when they can to colonize southamerica they ask for 20 thousand million dollars for him and they get the money still kill the king , get some books, get to know these people, now you have internet to investigate how this people from Spain and England were a big thieves
Bravo 💯💯👏👏👏 All TRUE!!! Majority of AFRICANS agree with your plain TRUTH speech!!! Hopefully Western countries and their national would finally understand our plights and force their leaders to pay for our resources!!!!🙆🙆 Thanks for bringing us FACTS 👏👏👏💖
Gina what you just said is a textbook example of what is horribly wrong with the thinking of most Africans. Western countries treat the black people who have lived there for generations with complete hatred and contempt. TO THE LEADERSHIP AND TOO MANY MUZUGUS NOT EVERYONE, ALL AND EVERY OUTRAGEOUS ATROCITY IS ALWAYS JUSTIFIED IF IT IS AGAINST BLACK PEOPLE!!! DO YOU GET THAT!!! We are merely pestilential parasites and sub- humans whose usefulness has long ago expired. You actually think that if they understand your plight, they will force their leaders to pay for Africa's resources. LET ME GAME YOU UP THEY WOULD RATHER NOT PAY YOU AT ALL!!! YOU HAVE NOT LEARNED FROM HISTORY AT ALL!! THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT FARENESS THEY CARE ABOUT WINNING. BLACK PEOPLE EVERYWHERE, NOT ONLY IN AFRICA HEAR THIS AND HEAR IT GOOD, THEY ARE NOT PLAYING THE WIN, WIN GAME YOU ARE AND NEVER WILL EVER!!!! THEY ARE PLAYING A ZERO-SUM GAME IN WHICH YOU WILL ALWAYS BE AT ZERO!!!
Long live Burkina Faso 🇧🇫 with our Brother Ibrahim Traore 🇧🇫 that is fighting for the Prosperity & the Well-being of the People of Burkina Faso 🇧🇫! No more Neocolonialism!
Thank you for giving this man's speech at UN, an appropriate and deserving attention which was ignored (perhaps intentionally) by the mainstream media.
Thank you again for yet another brilliant broadcast. First time hearing this speech and it's indeed powerful. Finally Africans will have business partners who'll treat them with mutual respect and won't have to settle for the lesser of any evil. Be blessed!
Can't wait to see & live through the downfall of the western imperialism/colonialism. I'll keep doing my part! I'm part of the west but i'm more part of the world & will work towards changes for all my whole life. The disastrous world we live in today is born out of old, disgusting & outdated imperialistic ideas! WE WANT CHANGE ❤
Thank you to Geopolitical report in very few months I have learn more than the 3 years in college and now I understand how cruel is the west against Latin America and Africa just to name few countries.
Writing from Kenya, an African nation that is ALWAYS been ruled by western puppets and is now more than ever, i pray for guidance, power and strenght to all the true African revolutionaries. Hoping that the wind of change that is igniting francophone West Africa, will also reach anglophone nations like Nigeria in the west and our Kenya in the east. Hasta la victoria siempre!
I wish these Leaders of Africa would have stood with Kadafi when he needed them. I hope they can stay united instead of fighting each other. Stay Strong Africa!
Because the French leadership threaten to destabilise the countries through funding terrorism in the countries. The west created terrorism and funded it, now they find it is slipping out of their control they want to fight those that do not want to be used any more. AFRICA DOES NOT NEED EUROPE FOR ANYTHING. EUROPE NEEDS TO GET OUT AND LEAVE AFRICA ALONE.
I think this was a fundamental genius and dyrongest speach fatenity. Honored minister of state, Burkina Faso, have delivered, and I am impressed by him, for not hiding the truly pain affecting us African. Long live the minister of state of Burkina Faso.
I've been watching some of your videos for a while now, but this one definitely has been the one that triggered my finger to click the "subscribe" button. Tons of love from Equatorial Guinea, West-Central Africa
Very smart young man of Burkina Faso 🇧🇫. I pray his safety , I know he will succeed whatever he set out to do with the help of the God of the Universe and our ancestors .
CORRECTION. The "Colonial Debt" the speaker mentioned is not loans or debt the county had taken. He is referring to an "agreement" France forced countries to sign to become free from colonialism in the 50's and 60's. To this day, 14 former colonies give to France 50% of their national earnings every year as the price of freedom. They also send another 20% of their national earnings to France every year. If France approves their budget, it allows them to borrow from this 20%. This colonial debt is what he is saying they will not pay anymore. Haiti was also forced to pay France a colonial debt, and it only ended not too long ago after they had paid for 150 years. France never gave real freedom to its colonies. It just kept financially sucking them dry year after year.
All contracts/ agreements with France need to be broken! All french companies need to be state owned. Just like Russia did. Kick out the collective west. Create own currency among those african countries.
Well Mali ist call poor country ... those are the minerals resources of Mali.... Gold,,Diamond..Cobalt,,Iron,,hydrogen...Lithium...Cements..Cotton.. 29 Oil fields natural Gaz..watter resource..40 million hectare of agro land.. Silver...Nickel....how a country like that can be poor?????
There is hope in Africa with leaders that speak up against western colonial imperialism, their corrupt practise and incessant lies from msm. Thanks Ben for bringing Hope to the Global South
That was an awesome and substantive speech...finally. Any decent person will agree that the system is corrupt and Africa has the right and duty to choose its own destiny.
Thanks so much for this enlightening presentation Ben. You do an amazing job. So refreshing to get the point of view of the Africans. May this tide in the affairs of men continue to raise up Africa to their rightful place in the world. If only France could live up to its founding values. Liberty equality and brotherhood. This appliez to US, UK and other countries who fail miserably to live up to their hypocritical rhetoric
American people are also exploited by the same neocolonial class of corporate dominated governments. Our interests are very similar to the African people. We all need economic development for the benefit of the people. The resources on this Earth can provide a paradise for us all if held and managed by the working people.
Really the man sent by Bukina Fasso by president Traore needs lots respect and to salute the braveness he had before the Africa's traitors / luters and has shown/proved / indicated them puppets openly without hesitation and fear. A true Africa's son who is proud of his Africa. He spoke clearly of what entire Africa must do to be great as other continents. Self reliance is required . Africa has all what it needs under its feet. A great courageous man . President Traore this man you sent deserve all support he needs when we speak of representing Africa. Your minister President Traore is a stead fast and focused man.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

It's their own Corrupt leadership that is allowing it.
No. They pretended to leave and left their puppets.
This made my day. I am 78 years old and a 40 year activist. so I had great hopes during the mid to late sixties and early seventies, only to see those hopes dashed by Western Powers led by the United States with the assissaination of some of our most revolutionary leaders here in the U. S and around the world, only a few survived and one of them was Fidel Castro, until his death, due to his exceptional insight into the machinations of imperialism, and the courage to resist, while under tremendous pressure, and the inhuman embargo, which saw many Cubans flee their country, but only the upper middel classes and wealthy cubans florished in the U.S. That many African people here in the U.S and around the world are not supporting this man, and his vision is shameful. As a black man, I salute you for highlighting this speech and bringing it to my attention. I feel much better today knowing that the War against imperialism has been revived in Africa.

Huge appreciation and profound respect for your impeccable reporting, Ben! You like many other truth-seeking, fearless and unprejudiced journalists of your top calibre are the world's only sources of unsullied dependable factual news! Having been so undaunted in your reporting career for a long while now is testimony enough that You are an incorruptible reporter abiding by your unshaken loftiest humanitarian principles.
Many other promising reporters started their trade on a revolutionary tone, but before long became turncoats after receiving thirty pieces of silver from their erstwhile neocon targets. Long live truly independent and undaunted reporters!
Well said Burkina Faso, a lot of people in different nations are on your side. Keep up with your fearless fighting spirit and you will win.
Stand up for your rights!!
💪💪
Nothing is as constant as change. Africa is soon going to be the true and free Africa we have wanted it to be for decades.
Africa is awakening now and should unite and drive out the evil Western regimes, raping their countries' resources. May they succeed and prosper in peace and harmony.
🙏🙏
🤔. So its true that woman celebrated on TV over the death of Gadaffi. How diabolic and psychopathic these maniacs can be
A psychopatic woman celebraring the death of a psychopathic man.
Excellent explanation, well done....
Am Somalian I been watching a lot of this looting western countries been doing one thing I could never understand was how Africa is the richest continent but the poorest at the same time didn’t make since am new to your channel and I’m subscribe thanks for the news bro love from Minnesota
We are confident in the victory of good over "evil"!❤
Really! Where's the fight?
All these speeches have happened before. Did you see the opening? Fight.
@@pausereflect5911We are not bothered by what happened to historic speeches made, and the fate those earlier Pan- Africanist faced as a result of trying to free Africa from tyranny. These injustices against Africa is simply unsustainable and unacceptable: Africa is not asking but assuming her God's given freedom. This time, not only the leaders but Africa as a whole is up to the task. The arrogant can go to hell, period!!!
I like and appreciate your commentary. Unlike other westerners who love to justify neo-colonialism and imperialism, you speak the facts in an unbiased manner. Well done!
Blessings my Brother....love your unbiased approach, makes for GREAT journalism!! Keep bringing out that truth. ✊🏿
Stand up for what's right!
Get France out of your government rule yourselves
I am happy Africa is standing up for itself
Burkina Faso, (the land of the upright man) this nation is a good role model for the world to follow. The only nation with by that name.
Yes
The fight today is not about ideology like in the past. Today the struggle is about equal rights and justice. And we Africans know that we shall win. Cause we are confident in the victory! Good over evil.
Never been a ideology war always was westerners colonizing for the resources as an southamerica they took resources filling ships to Espain,England,(one ship found with gold worth more than 20 thousand million dollars as AA example , never was an ideology problem
It was a struggle for justice then and it is a struggle for justice now
The prophets words shall comes to pass
@@josejose5859 wich ship? any sources? sounds like from out of a fairytale
@@AsscherMazzelaar a 🚢 was found sink in the sea of Colombia about 5 years ago the gold in that 🚢 is value over 20 thousand millions dollar, is just an example, history also say that Spain kidnapped the king of Peru when they can to colonize southamerica they ask for 20 thousand million dollars for him and they get the money still kill the king , get some books, get to know these people, now you have internet to investigate how this people from Spain and England were a big thieves
SPEAK OUT LOUD!! for one (1) Africa Independent of the WEST!! Africa unite as one (1) to fight this "FIGHT for FREEDOM!👍😇🙏💯
Bravo 💯💯👏👏👏 All TRUE!!! Majority of AFRICANS agree with your plain TRUTH speech!!! Hopefully Western countries and their national would finally understand our plights and force their leaders to pay for our resources!!!!🙆🙆
Thanks for bringing us FACTS 👏👏👏💖
Gina what you just said is a textbook example of what is horribly wrong with the thinking of most Africans. Western countries treat the black people who have lived there for generations with complete hatred and contempt. TO THE LEADERSHIP AND TOO MANY MUZUGUS NOT EVERYONE, ALL AND EVERY OUTRAGEOUS ATROCITY IS ALWAYS JUSTIFIED IF IT IS AGAINST BLACK PEOPLE!!! DO YOU GET THAT!!! We are merely pestilential parasites and sub- humans whose usefulness has long ago expired.
You actually think that if they understand your plight, they will force their leaders to pay for Africa's resources. LET ME GAME YOU UP THEY WOULD RATHER NOT PAY YOU AT ALL!!! YOU HAVE NOT LEARNED FROM HISTORY AT ALL!! THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT FARENESS THEY CARE ABOUT WINNING. BLACK PEOPLE EVERYWHERE, NOT ONLY IN AFRICA HEAR THIS AND HEAR IT GOOD, THEY ARE NOT PLAYING THE WIN, WIN GAME YOU ARE AND NEVER WILL EVER!!!! THEY ARE PLAYING A ZERO-SUM GAME IN WHICH YOU WILL ALWAYS BE AT ZERO!!!
Long live Burkina Faso 🇧🇫 with our Brother Ibrahim Traore 🇧🇫 that is fighting for the Prosperity & the Well-being of the People of Burkina Faso 🇧🇫! No more Neocolonialism!
Well thomas sankara is a great leader
Thank you for giving this man's speech at UN, an appropriate and deserving attention which was ignored (perhaps intentionally) by the mainstream media.
100% intentionally
Thank you again for yet another brilliant broadcast. First time hearing this speech and it's indeed powerful. Finally Africans will have business partners who'll treat them with mutual respect and won't have to settle for the lesser of any evil. Be blessed!
Can't wait to see & live through the downfall of the western imperialism/colonialism. I'll keep doing my part! I'm part of the west but i'm more part of the world & will work towards changes for all my whole life. The disastrous world we live in today is born out of old, disgusting & outdated imperialistic ideas! WE WANT CHANGE ❤
Your report, the speech, the explanations were of monumental importance. Burkina Faso can be proud of its new Leaders.
Thank you to Geopolitical report in very few months I have learn more than the 3 years in college and now I understand how cruel is the west against Latin America and Africa just to name few countries.
Cruelty to all the countries around the world
He is Speaking Truth!
I have been waiting for your analysis of Africa. Well done.
Writing from Kenya, an African nation that is ALWAYS been ruled by western puppets and is now more than ever, i pray for guidance, power and strenght to all the true African revolutionaries. Hoping that the wind of change that is igniting francophone West Africa, will also reach anglophone nations like Nigeria in the west and our Kenya in the east.
Hasta la victoria siempre!
Mambo bro 💪
@@gulledahmed2954 poa! poa!
You are an extraordinary journalist and have a great voice
Thanks for mentioning the African struggle, you're a true friend ❤❤❤.
Alway love your work, Ben. But, for me, this is the gold standard! Thank you.
I wish these Leaders of Africa would have stood with Kadafi when he needed them.
I hope they can stay united instead of fighting each other.
Stay Strong Africa!
Great reporting Ben, thank you!
One love,One Heart, Lets work together and be alright!!!
Africans Unite,
ONE AFRICA,ONE NATION!
These men are brave strong defenders of Mama Africa against imperialism. They are not coup leaders or juntas or rebels. 🤜🏾🌍🤛🏾
Well, done my brother ,Norton may God be with you and your entire family period 😅
Good point, why pay debt to a country that truly owes them.?
Because the French leadership threaten to destabilise the countries through funding terrorism in the countries. The west created terrorism and funded it, now they find it is slipping out of their control they want to fight those that do not want to be used any more. AFRICA DOES NOT NEED EUROPE FOR ANYTHING. EUROPE NEEDS TO GET OUT AND LEAVE AFRICA ALONE.
Thanks a lot's Norton may God be with you always ❤
Great reporting ❤It. Proud African
I think this was a fundamental genius and dyrongest speach fatenity.
Honored minister of state, Burkina Faso, have delivered, and I am impressed by him, for not hiding the truly pain affecting us African.
Long live the minister of state of Burkina Faso.
I've been watching some of your videos for a while now, but this one definitely has been the one that triggered my finger to click the "subscribe" button. Tons of love from Equatorial Guinea, West-Central Africa
First time to watch him. Subscribing
Very smart young man of Burkina Faso 🇧🇫. I pray his safety , I know he will succeed whatever he set out to do with the help of the God of the Universe and our ancestors .
CORRECTION. The "Colonial Debt" the speaker mentioned is not loans or debt the county had taken. He is referring to an "agreement" France forced countries to sign to become free from colonialism in the 50's and 60's. To this day, 14 former colonies give to France 50% of their national earnings every year as the price of freedom. They also send another 20% of their national earnings to France every year. If France approves their budget, it allows them to borrow from this 20%. This colonial debt is what he is saying they will not pay anymore. Haiti was also forced to pay France a colonial debt, and it only ended not too long ago after they had paid for 150 years. France never gave real freedom to its colonies. It just kept financially sucking them dry year after year.
Down with neocolonialism, viva Africa, viva!!!
viva africa !
Thank you for that great summary. Truthful reporting is what is needed to combat western hypocracy and propaganda. One Love. One Africa.
It seems Thomas Sankara had reincarnated. Viva Africa!!!
Thanks for the Excellent,Honest, Clean, Education and Timely Piece of Journalism , Much Gratitude and Love.
All contracts/ agreements with France need to be broken! All french companies need to be state owned. Just like Russia did. Kick out the collective west. Create own currency among those african countries.
Good ideas.
They already creating a currency among other countries so that they can get rid of colonizers currency, they also joined with Russia and China.
It’s about time!!
Well Mali ist call poor country ...
those are the minerals resources of Mali....
Gold,,Diamond..Cobalt,,Iron,,hydrogen...Lithium...Cements..Cotton..
29 Oil fields natural Gaz..watter resource..40 million hectare of agro land..
Silver...Nickel....how a country like that can be poor?????
There is hope in Africa with leaders that speak up against western colonial imperialism, their corrupt practise and incessant lies from msm.
Thanks Ben for bringing Hope to the Global South
I love to see western countries especially France and US was kicked out of Africa ,really nice scenery.😂
Great speech and great translation from the commentator.👍
I love Ben. Rock solid. Cape Town South Africa. 🇿🇦🇵🇹🇷🇺🍷
Ben, not Ken.
Love your videos. Truthful and logical. Thank you and God bless you.
That was an awesome and substantive speech...finally. Any decent person will agree that the system is corrupt and Africa has the right and duty to choose its own destiny.
Western colonialism might have ended.
Imperialism never did...
Capitalism is imperialist . You cant end imperialism without ending capitalism first.
The f@cks are working on another version right now. They aren't leaving are they?
No more speeches.
Fight! Remove them for good.
Thank you
It's time for Africa!!
Wake up, all Africans.
Thanks so much for this enlightening presentation Ben. You do an amazing job. So refreshing to get the point of view of the Africans. May this tide in the affairs of men continue to raise up Africa to their rightful place in the world. If only France could live up to its founding values. Liberty equality and brotherhood. This appliez to US, UK and other countries who fail miserably to live up to their hypocritical rhetoric
Keep up the good work, I'm happy you noticed the Captain ❤❤❤.
Good on him for calling the UN and France out!!
Whoever touch any of the AES leaders should know that you touched the whole of AFRICA!!
American people are also exploited by the same neocolonial class of corporate dominated governments. Our interests are very similar to the African people. We all need economic development for the benefit of the people. The resources on this Earth can provide a paradise for us all if held and managed by the working people.
Many thanks for being so truthful and upfront about yhese subjects.
Wow! Thank you, Ben, for the great analysis! I'm going to watch the full speech.
Really the man sent by Bukina Fasso by president Traore needs lots respect and to salute the braveness he had before the Africa's traitors / luters and has shown/proved / indicated them puppets openly without hesitation and fear.
A true Africa's son who is proud of his Africa. He spoke clearly of what entire Africa must do to be great as other continents. Self reliance is required . Africa has all what it needs under its feet.
A great courageous man . President Traore this man you sent deserve all support he needs when we speak of representing Africa. Your minister President Traore is a stead fast and focused man.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
