On July 1st, 2024, the transitional government of Captain Ibrahim Traore will come to an end. Recall that when he came to power in September 2022 and was appointed interim president of Burkina Faso in October of the same year, Ibrahim Traore pledged to give his support for a transition leading to elections in July 2024. This means that the military government which has been ruling Burkina Faso for more than a year, is about to end. And in line with this, Traore’s administration recently announced that they will hold national consultations at the end of this month to determine the next steps in the nation’s transition to civilian rule. According to a press release signed by Minister of Territorial Administration Emile Zerbo and read on national television, “National meetings have been called for May 25 and 26 in Ouagadougou”. "These meetings will enable representatives of the nation's active forces to deliberate on the next steps to be taken in the transition, which will run until July 1, 2024, as stipulated in the October 14, 2022 charter," the announcement said.

The minister's statement further revealed that “The meetings will bring together representatives from civil society, political parties, and the military to "take stock of the past months, decide whether to continue the transition and what that continuation will be”. This announcement comes after all 71 members of the legislative assembly for transition, the ALT, approved a plan for a transition forum, leaving it to the sovereign people who will meet during the national forum to decide the development of the transition in April. All these moves are in preparation for what happens next after the transition period of Captain Traore ends in July. But the question is, “Is that what the citizens of Burkina Faso want? Do they want a new leader who will be elected to replace Ibrahim Traore? Not surprisingly the answer is NO. The citizens of Burkina Faso have enjoyed the leadership of Ibrahim Traore so much so that on May 11th, thousands of Burkinabes gathered at the Municipal Stadium in Ouagadougou, the capital of Burkina Faso, to pledge support for the extension of Traore’s transition period. This is historic.

#africanews #ibrahimtraoré #burkinafaso this is not just another tech update. It is a revolution.
The African Union has officially launched the Continental Internet Exchange—a complete digital infrastructure that bypasses Western control. For the first time, 1.4 billion Africans are connected through their own fiber cables, data centers, and a brand-new protocol that Google cannot dominate.

What does this mean?

📌 Faster, cheaper, more reliable internet for African citizens.
📌 $50 billion kept inside Africa instead of flowing to Silicon Valley.
📌 A direct challenge to Google, Microsoft, and Amazon’s monopoly.
📌 The rise of true digital sovereignty in the 21st century.

President Ibrahim Traoré of Burkina Faso has long spoken about independence in gold, agriculture, and energy. Now, Africa is reclaiming its digital future as well. Could this be the beginning of the post-Google era?

👉 Do you believe that Africa’s model will spread to South America, Asia, and beyond?
👉 Can the United States and Silicon Valley adapt, or will they resist?

⁣Link Up Podcast — Ep 9 | Ft sbA Akinjide Bonotchi Montgomery (Black Power, Mdw Ntr, Restoring Ma'At)
Hosts: Niara Esi Ìjèawelē Ọmọlará Kwento & Bakari Kwadwo Ọbatayé Kwento

Akɔaba, Woezɔ, Oɔbaake (welcome) to another episode of Link Up Podcast, where we connect with Abibifoɔ (Black People) doing Black powerful work across Abibiman (the Black Land) and the diaspora.

In this episode, we Link Up with sbA Akinjide Bonotchi Montgomery, experiencing the Black Power movement in Detroit, seeing the need to learn Mdw Ntr, becoming a long standing Abibitumi instructor. sbA Bonotchi is a straight-shooting warrior scholar who shows the importance of learning Mdw Ntr, and how it is needed towards building Black Power. He takes us through his upbringing in Detroit, the strength and discipline of his mother, the Black nationalist environment of the 1960s and 70s, the Panthers, the Shrine of the Black Madonna, COINTELPRO, and the political consciousness that shaped a generation before it was deliberately crushed.

We discuss his journey to Kemet with Okunini Dr. Ben, learning Mdw Ntr through serious study, becoming a teacher with Abibitumi, and why the language must lead to action rather than empty intellectual collection. sbA Bonotchi shares the practical power of Mdw Ntr, the danger of words like artificial, unnatural, democracy, spirituality, integration, diversity, and why Black people must stop letting others define reality for us. This is a conversation about the work required to think, speak, and act from a perspective of what is real.

* Stay tuned after the conversation for a special animated cartoon episode. *

This is a conversation about raised consciousness becoming raised behavior, Black love as institution, and the work required to bring the whole family Black home.
