        The new currency and debt Mali's public debt stood at 51.7% of GDP at the end of 2024, with a decrease in the share of external debt compared to the previous year.  Its share of total debt has increased, now representing approximately 53.2% of total public debt. The average interest cost for domestic debt is much higher (6.1%) than for external debt (0.6%), increasing debt servicing costs.  The share of external debt decreased to 46.8% at the end of 2024.  The increase in domestic debt, which is more expensive in terms of interest, has a significant impact on the debt service burden. The exit of the AES countries from the CFA franc is closer than ever, with the payment of the external debt of Mali and Burkina Faso and now we are waiting for Niger's turn. Last February, according to Oil Minister Sahabi Oumarou , the country will generate 204 billion CFA francs in oil revenues in 2024, compared to 64.1 billion CFA francs in 2020. Niger's oil p...

   At just 36 years old, Ibrahim Traoré has become a key figure in contemporary Africa. Having come to power through a coup d'état , this young Burkinabe captain openly defies France, ECOWAS , and all forms of neocolonial domination. Today in the world, it is really difficult not to hear about Ibrahim Traore , the president of Burkina Faso . It is not the first time that I.B, as the Burkinabe population calls him, has made a sensation in the media.  In 2023, at a summit organized by Russia that IB participated in, he made a speech that many observers qualified as brilliant, historic and according to some others disrespectful, but I say it is a reminder of order. In his speech at the 2nd Russia-Africa Summit , Ibrahim Traoré highlighted the profound changes underway in his country and in Africa. He emphasized the need to seize opportunities arising from political, economic, and social developments to create a better future.    He highlighted the growing autonomy...

In the context where Africa as a continent is looking for development and infrastructure, many opportunities are presented every day.  African countries often, if not always, encounter financing problems when it comes to agro-industrial development . There are many public figures who make statements and express their desire for African countries to remain underdeveloped, a country that provides raw materials for other countries to transform.  All this is not a fatality because from many other perspectives, the BRICS+ countries are one of the exit doors for African countries.  Will the continent seize the opportunities proposed by the BRICS+ countries? An axis that is developing very well is Russia-AES . Cooperating with the BRICS+ countries is an opportunity that the AES countries must seize to escape from the French colonial yoke , which is playing every maneuver to keep the former colonies in a state of poverty and thus the system of exploitation will remain.  Wha...

We are experiencing a tension that continues to rise in Africa , it was the only continent that did not heat up but now the United States has spoken out through General Michael Langley to accuse the AES countries , especially Captain Hibraim Traore , the president of Burkina Faso , of using the country's mineral resources for his personal protection.  These accusations, which we know to be fake news, are fabricated in the country of Uncle Sam .... Let's take a look at what the United States is doing in the world,   the war in Ukraine is being lost,  the trade war against China is being lost,  the dollar is losing value every day, and now it is up to African countries that have large gold reserves,  to try to recover their declining economies.  Faced with the accusations made by the American general against the president of Burkina Faso, there has been a huge wave of support for the IB.  Many organizations have denied the accusations, criticizing the...
