In a groundbreaking move that’s making waves across Africa, Burkina Faso is taking a stand by renaming all locations that bear French colonial names, opting instead for local indigenous names that celebrate African heritage, culture, and history.
President Ibrahim Traoré has declared that this initiative is part of a broader strategy to decolonize the nation, reclaim its authentic identity, and dismantle the remnants of foreign control.
But wait, there’s more… Major Infrastructure Projects Underway
The government is also kicking off new road construction projects—and here’s the exciting part: local citizens will be the ones still doing the work. This means job creation, development, and a sense of pride in building a nation with our own hands continues.
This is what true leadership looks like. While African giant (Nigeria) is busy seeking aid from the West, Traoré is changing the narrative—empowering the people, for the people of Burkina Faso.
