Burkina Faso is fighting against a "Machiavellian system" created by the West, a Burkinabe activist says
💬 "Our enemy here [in Africa], we don't hide it, it's #France, it's #NATO. Our enemies are those who created international #terrorism by destroying #Libya and executing its leader, Colonel Muammar #Gaddafi," the Black African Defense League Coordinator in Burkina Faso Abdoul Sawadogo told Sputnik Africa.
On the occasion of the 64th anniversary of Burkina Faso's independence, which was celebrated on December 11, Ibrahim Traore denounced in his address to the nation the "imperialists" who seek to keep the people of Burkina Faso "in slavery".
🗣 "We are victims of our wealth, the wealth that imperialists want to seize at all costs, aiming to keep us in slavery. We will secure it," Traore declared from the Barsalogho town hall.
This is an important statement because it reaffirms Burkina Faso's determination to remain a sovereign and independent country in the face of external pressures, Sawadogo emphasized.
💬 "President Traore is basically addressing the former colonial powers and any entities that may try to interfere in Burkina Faso's internal affairs," the activist concluded.
