Ibrahim Traore strikes again!
A joint official statement was issued by Beijing and Ouagadougou.

China and Traore signed a strategic agreement worth 50 billion dollars.
This agreement concerns the construction of an unprecedented Pharmaceutical Complex in the heart of the Sahel.

The agreement foresees the construction of a Pharmaceutical Complex, capable of producing billions of medicines per year, with its own Research Laboratories, Technical Universities and distribution centers.

This is not a simple commercial contract
It is a revolution that will bring a huge change to the global political balance

The new Pharmaceutical Company of the Global South is born for the Autonomy of African Health, which removes the pharmaceutical control of Africa from the hands of Paris and Washington.

Traore closed the deal and the West is in absolute panic!

President Ibrahim Traoré Donates Blood to Save a Mother of Triplets Leadership by Example. Humanity in Action.

In June 2025, Burkina Faso’s President Captain Ibrahim Traoré personally donated his blood to save the life of a woman who had just given birth to triplets and was in critical condition due to severe blood loss.

Upon learning that his blood type was a match, President Traoré rushed to the hospital and offered his own blood a gesture that not only saved her life but also sparked a nationwide call to action.

“We must be our brothers’ keepers. Today it was this mother. Tomorrow, it could be your sister, your child, or even yourself.” ~ President Ibrahim Traoré

Following the donation, he launched a National Blood Donation Campaign, urging all Burkinabe to step up and support their fellow citizens in need.

U.S. STRIKES IRAN NUKE SITES WITH B2 BOMBERS | LATEST

The U.S. military conducted airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear sites, targeting three key Iranian nuclear facilities: Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. President Donald Trump announced the strikes, claiming they were a "spectacular military success" and that Iran's nuclear enrichment capabilities were "completely and totally obliterated." The operation involved B-2 stealth bombers dropping GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) "bunker buster" bombs, primarily on the heavily fortified Fordow facility, and Navy submarines launching Tomahawk missiles at Natanz and Esfahan. The strikes were aimed at crippling Iran’s nuclear program, which the U.S. and Israel view as a threat, though Iran maintains its program is for peaceful purposes.

Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization confirmed the attacks but claimed no radioactive contamination occurred and that its nuclear program would continue. Iranian officials, including Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, condemned the strikes as a violation of international law, warning of "everlasting consequences" and reserving "all options" for retaliation. The strikes mark a significant escalation in the ongoing Israel-Iran conflict, which intensified with Israeli strikes on June 13, 2025. There is no independent confirmation of the extent of damage to the facilities, and concerns remain about potential Iranian reprisals, including asymmetric attacks or disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz.

First meeting for a unify AES Army held in Mali 🇲🇱

Implementation Documents have already been Validated for the creation of an army whose activities and deployment will cut across the entire AES territories

The first meeting of the ministers in charge of the Defense of the Confederation of the Sahel States was held this Friday, June 20 at the Alioune Blondin Bèye Peacekeeping School. It was dedicated to the coordination and implementation of the defense and security pillar of the AES unified force.

This meeting focused on establishing a 5,000-strong joint military force equipped with aviation, equipment, and intelligence to combat Al-Qaeda and Islamic State-affiliated groups across the three countries. The initiative follows the AES's formation of the Confederation of Sahel States in July 2024, aiming to enhance regional security cooperation amid ongoing jihadist violence and a shift away from the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). Military experts from the AES countries have since held further discussions, such as in Ouagadougou from April 8 to 11, 2025, to refine the defense and security strategies of this joint force.

Uganda 🇺🇬 discovered gold deposits worth more than 12 Trillion USD

Uganda’s reported discovery of over 31 million metric tonnes of gold ore, potentially yielding 320,000 tonnes of refined gold valued at over $12 trillion, has sparked global interest. Announced by the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development, the deposits are primarily located in the Karamoja region, with additional reserves in eastern, central, and western Uganda. The find, first reported in 2022, could transform Uganda’s economy, with projections of 15% annual growth and a 40% export surge in March 2025, partly driven by gold. The government, led by President Yoweri Museveni, emphasizes local refining to maximize economic benefits, with Chinese firm Wagagai Mining licensed to extract and refine gold in Busia district.

However, skepticism persists due to the unprecedented scale—exceeding all gold ever mined globally (around 210,000 tonnes). Challenges include governance risks, as the newly launched Uganda National Mining Company (UNMC) could face corruption, and social issues like displacement in Karamoja. Regional smuggling, with South Sudan losing 5 tonnes of gold annually via Uganda to the UAE, highlights regulatory weaknesses. While the discovery offers economic hope, robust legal frameworks and transparency are critical to avoid pitfalls seen in other resource-rich African nations.

Mali 🇲🇱 has seized one of the country's largest gold mining operations from a Canadian corporation who refused to pay taxes & royalties.

Mali’s military government has seized the Loulo-Gounkoto gold mining complex, one of the country’s largest operations, from Canadian mining company Barrick Gold due to an ongoing dispute over unpaid taxes and royalties.

The complex, which accounts for around 14% of Barrick’s estimated 2025 gold output and produced 723,000 ounces of gold in 2024, was placed under provisional state administration for six months starting in June 2025, with Soumana Makadji, a former Malian health minister, appointed as administrator.

The conflict stems from Mali’s 2023 mining code, which increases state revenue through higher royalties (up to 10.5% from 6%) and requires foreign companies to divest up to 35% of new projects to Malian investors. Mali claims Barrick owes significant sums, with estimates ranging from $500 million to $5.5 billion in unpaid taxes and fines, though Barrick disputes these figures, having paid $85 million in October 2024 during negotiations.

The government also seized three tons of gold worth approximately $245 million in January 2025 and detained four Barrick employees, escalating tensions. Barrick suspended operations at the complex in January 2025 after export restrictions and the gold seizure, and it has removed Loulo-Gounkoto from its 2025 output forecast.

The company is pursuing international arbitration through the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes while negotiations continue, with Mali allowing Barrick to repatriate 20% of earnings as a concession. This move reflects Mali’s broader push to secure greater economic benefits from its mining sector, which accounts for 80% of its exports, amid political instability following coups in 2020 and 2021.
