Traore & Burkina Faso...so far so good..

Posted by reporting gm on 6/12/2025, 4:53 pm

Two Years into; Ibrahim Traore's presidency:
1)..Burkina Faso's GDP increased from approximately $18.8 billion to $22.1 billion.
(2)..He reduced the salaries of ministers and parliamentarians by 30% and increased those of civil servants by 50%.
(3)..He paid off Burkina Faso's local debts.
(4)..He inaurgurated a state-of-the-art gold mine to strengthen local processing capacity.
(5)..He ended the export of Burkinabe raw gold to Europe.
(6)😆😂..Traore banned the wearing of British wigs and robes in local courts and introduced traditional Burkinabe dress. Ouch!!

Anyway, Ibrahim Traore is putting facts on the ground and the colonizers don't like it. Awesome!

Bill Gates to spend his $billions in Africa--he should chat with Traore...

Pretty interesting gesture!

ap-
Bill Gates is moving forward with plans to give away $200 Billion over the next 20 years, and the billionaire now says the "majority" of that money will go toward improving public health and education services in Africa.

Well, maybe he should get together with Ibrahim Traore on how to keep the funds away from the thieves & corrupt politicians on the continent. There.

Ha, ha, Traore got rid of the British wigs, streamlined gold processing, is manufacturing cars, building first-class housing, increasing GDP, and returning to traditional dress.

Let’s hope other African countries follow his lead. He is indeed a renaissance man.
