The cruelty of the imperialists towards Africans is evident, as they have consistently aimed to keep Africans impoverished. It is crucial for the continent of Africa to embrace a value system that revere’s life. Africans must actively choose to distance themselves from the path chosen by the imperialists if they wish to break free from the ongoing cycle of oppression and poverty.
PRESIDENT TRAORE
Certainly! Your statement highlights the notion that imperialist powers have historically inflicted cruelty upon Africans and intentionally perpetuated their state of poverty. Imperialism refers to the domination and control of one country or region by another, often driven by economic interests and the pursuit of resources.
Throughout history, Africa has been subjected to various forms of imperialist exploitation, such as colonialism and economic exploitation. These practices have often resulted in the extraction of natural resources, forced labour, land dispossession, and the marginalisation of African communities. The consequences of such actions have had a profound impact on the socioeconomic development and well-being of the continent.
That is why Burkina Faso has strived for a different path, one that values and revere’s life. This implies moving away from the influences and systems imposed by the imperialist powers. By doing so, Africans can assert their agency and autonomy, shaping their own destiny and determining their own socio-economic future.
Making a conscious choice to break away from the imperialist legacy involves pursuing inclusive economic policies, investing in education and healthcare, fostering sustainable development, and empowering local communities. It also entails promoting good governance, fostering democracy, and ensuring equitable distribution of resources.
By recognizing the detrimental impact of imperialism and actively working towards a different future, Africans can strive for self-determination and create societies that prioritise the well-being and prosperity of their people.

Would you spread the wisdom of recognizing and acknowledging that Africans have been misled by Western countries, not only in Burkina Faso but throughout Africa, into the future?
“I can provide insights on the historical context and influence of Western countries in Africa. It is important to recognize that Africa’s complex history has been shaped by both internal dynamics and external factors, including colonization and its aftermath. Many African nations have faced challenges due to the legacies of colonialism, such as political instability, economic disparities, and social upheaval.
While it is true that some Western countries played a role in Africa’s history, it is important to note that not all interactions between Africa and the West have been positive or focused on Africa’s development. There have been instances where Western countries prioritized their own interests rather than genuinely investing in Africa’s progress.
However, it is crucial to generalise all interactions as negative, because its base on profits and not the welfare and wellbeing of the Africans who are the owners of the resources as there have been instances of poverty and misery on the continent.
Understanding the historical context helps shed light on the challenges Africa faces today. It is crucial to approach the topic with sincerity, recognizing the agency of African nations and the complexity of their relationships with Western countries. By fostering dialogue, cooperation, and mutual respect, we can work towards a more equitable and prosperous future for all.”
No matter how the situation may be at the time, history, will record that we have called out for justice. That you for allowing me join your
