TRAORÉ ON PAN-AFRICAN FEDERATION!
The armies of Burkina Faso and Mali are as good as one, that’s according to Burkinabe president Ibrahim Traoré, who’s been sharing more details on Ouagadougou and Bamako‘s Pan-African federation. He also revealed that economic ties were being strengthened and that the federation was open to newcomers, with Guinea already moving closer.
While regional body ECOWAS has balked at the idea of such a union, Traoré here points out that it’s what young people all over the region are calling for. Earlier this year, crowds walked 860 km on foot between Bamako and Ouagadougou to express their support for the Burkina-Mali federation.
Traoré also makes clear that it’s only by uniting that the struggle against outside domination can be overcome.
