Why Russia ?
Well, here's what some people don't know:
๐ Burkina Faso has been at war with France-created terr0rist groups since 10 years. Since 8 years before Traore came to power.
๐ Traore came to power in a bl00dless coup in which NOBODY got k!lled. An uncommon occurrence in the regionโs history of political transitions.
๐ He shutdown the French military bases in Burkina and expelled all the so-called Frโฌnch military advisors who were working in Burkina Ministry of Defense and Ministry of Security after finding out that Fr@nce is the one financing, arming and training the terr0rist groups. Something that is still going on actually, through the Benin Republic and Cรดte d'Ivoire.
๐ Fr@nce got angry and decided to step-up its operations against Traore to take him down by all means. This includes directly
elim!nating him using local traitors like they did with Sankara or by intensifying the terr0rist att@cks to have the Burkina population revolt against him and remove him.
๐ ECOWAS, which is supposed to help Burkina, Mali and Niger defend themselves against Fr@nce, aligned with Fr@nce to help take down Traorรฉ.
๐ The African Union kept watching since 10 years Fr@nce trying to collapse the Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger.
๐ Burkina Faso ordered arms to boost the capacity of its army in fighting the terr0rist groups. The arms delivery got blocked even though Burkina had paid everything. At the UN General Assembly in 2023, Capt Traorรฉ - during his speech that was delivered by Bassolam Bazie, one of his Ministers - raised this issue of blocking the arms by the Westen powers. Saying that it was not faire to block arms sells to us while we're trying to defend ourselves against terr0rist groups that the whole world is fighting.
๐ A few weeks after the firey speech at the UN, some, arms orders, just some, precisley those from Brazil and Czcehc Republic were unblocked and reached Burkina.
๐ But Fr@nce, again, stepped-up its operations to k!ll Traorรฉ. Many coup attempts against him were foiled. ECOWAS and the African Union continued watching.
๐ Mali ๐ฒ๐ฑ requested (multiple times) a special session of the UN Security Counsil in order to present tangible evidence that Fr@nce is funding, arming and training the terr0rist groups in Sahel. All the requests were denied. And the session never took place till today.
๐ In short, since 2015, ECOWAS, the AU and the UN kept watching Fr@nce working on collapsing Burkina Faso (also Mali and Niger) and trying to k!ll Traorรฉ without them doing anything to help. Most of all, the West blocked arms sells to Burkina!
๐ So after nearly 10 years of waiting for ECOWAS, the AU and the UN to provide help, to help save Burkina Faso (also Mali and Niger) from Fr@nce, Capt Traore decided to head to Russia. The country that's a 1000 times stronger than Fr@nce. He headed to Russia to get arms of all types, training for Burkina army, nuclear technology, knowledge transfer, scholarships for Burkina students especially in the field of nuclear science. In addition to Russia helping protect him from Fr@nce's attempts to physically elim!nate him. Russia welcomed Traorรฉ with open arms as Putin and him have a common ennemi, which is Fr@nce.
Now, will we expect Russia to do everything for FREE for Burkina? Only f00ls will. It's strictly business. You give me what I need, I pay for it. It's a mutual benefit thing. But how, in which way Burkina will be able to pay? Well, Burkina got natural ressources that were being looted by Western companies since then 60s while Burkina remained poor. Capt Traore restructured the entire mining sector. Revoked licenses from Westen mining companies and nationalized two big gold mines. New legislations were introduced to fully regulate the sector that gave Burkina total control over its natural ressources. A mining license was given to a Russian private company UNDER the new mining legislations. In other words, the license is a win-win business very far from what was being done before the new legislations.
The entire population of Burkina Faso, with few exceptions of course, is very happy with Capt Traore and his smart move to turn to Russia in this existential times that Burkina Faso is going through.
When you have an ennemi who is stronger than you, and the people who are supposed to help you (ECOWAS & AU) are not helping you, and some of them actually aligned themselves with this ennemi, you have no choice but to go look for an ally who is much more stronger than your ennemi and those aligned with him combined. That's what Traore has done. Anybody whon is against this move, can keep barking. The train carrying Burkina Faso and conducted by Capt Traore will keep moving. And for the info, the train has on its board, millions of TRAOREs.
