The new currency and debt

        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...

Ibrahim Traore in Moscow

   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...

A light at the end of the tunnel.

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...

AES in the sights of the imperial USA ?

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...

from BRIC to BRICS+

It was 4 countries to start with (bric) Brazil , Russia ,  India and China .... The term bric was coined by a Goldman Sachs investment bank economist named Jim O'Neill who first used it in a meeting he had with the group in 2001. Then they added South Africa as a country with rapid economic growth. This term first appeared in a note by Jim O'Neill, an economist at the investment bank Goldman Sachs, and was taken up again in a report published by two economists from the same bank.   The BRICS + is now a group of ten countries—Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Iran, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Indonesia , and Ethiopia—aiming to rival the Group of Seven .  The BRICs are high-growth countries whose weight in the global economy is increasing at the beginning of the 21st century.  The BRICS countries use their national currencies to trade among themselves to reduce the influence of the dollar in world trade so that the United States cannot use th...

Is an AES, ECOWAS partnership possible?

An ECOWAS-AES Partnership Is Possible, Says John Dramani   Africa is living a great moment in its history, a moment where the decisions each country on the continent makes will have positive or negative consequences in a short period.  Africa gets a chance to take advantage of the distraction of Western countries that are waging a trade war against China and Russia .  At a time when gold is the basis of the economy of the majority of countries in the world, it is selling (1 ounce/1300 usd) which has made the countries that are part of the AES very important and important in the global economy.   The Ghanaian president revealed that he had made restoring diplomatic ties with the AES a top priority upon his return to power, appointing a special envoy and carrying out personal missions to the countries concerned. " Ghana is ready to serve as a bridge to mend the fabric of West African unity ."   He announced that Ghana would offer 1,000 higher education sc...

Collateral damage of trade war.

In the trade war the United States is waging against China, many countries in the world risk bearing the brunt, including African countries, more specifically the AES countries . Go tell General Langley that Burkina Faso will not be collateral damage in the US war against China.  You will lose a war you started, so suffer in silence and turn a blind eye to the gold reserves of the AES countries because in reality that is the problem, that the AES countries have control over their own gold reserves. I don't know if the Burkinabe population is following the events that are happening because they are all connected in one way or another.  First, the false accusation of the American general, as if the Burkinabe leaders would use the country's gold reserves for their personal interests.  Second, the invitation of the countries that are part of the AES to the ECOWAS summit , what is hidden behind this invitation when we see how the conspiracy was planned...?  Third, t...

Riverdale

"Riverdale" began as a highly promising series with a plot that was dark, mysterious, and, above all, gripping. However, over the seasons, the show experienced its ups and downs, with some plots succeeding and others less convincing. It still has qualities, especially visual ones, the sets, the outfits, the lights, the atmosphere, even the shots and the editing are good, the soundtrack is also great and the characters are interesting despite the weak point of the series which is the scenario, which is often far-fetched, not very interesting, drags on and with very disappointing resolutions.   Attempts at renewal, such as time jumps and parallel worlds, weren't always successful and were often too far-fetched. Despite its flaws, "Riverdale" managed to deliver memorable moments, strong characters, and was for a time one of the best teen drama series, but it's undeniable that it has declined in quality over time. "Riverdale" disappointed in its final ...
