I have nothing to add to what this man has to say.
True, the speaker’s English is probably AI-generated.
True, the speech was not delivered in the UN itself although it is addressed to the UN.
The fact remains that Burkina Faso has been one of the very poorest countries in the world, although it has some of the world’s most important gold mines, mines owned by Western companies that pay next to nothing to the workers in the mines, and next-to-nothing for the gold they appropriate.
I am not in the habit of rooting for military leaders. However, “Democracy” has not delivered what it promised to Africa. “Democracy” has not delivered peace. Nor has it delivered human rights, or health care, or retirement pensions, or education. Above all, it has not delivered dignity.
Since the establishment of the Alliance of Sahel States (AES) by Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso, things are changing for the better.
The economic outlook for AES countries is positive (Burkina 5.494%, Mali 3.751%, and Niger 9.869% GDP growth in 2024, with Niger becoming the 3rd fastest growing economy in the world and the fastest growing economy in Africa in 2024., Wikipedia as at 31 May 2025
So: May all the Gods be with Burkina Faso, Niger and Mali.
