Welcome to another episode of Unredacted Tonight with Lee Camp! Special guest Abby Martin joins the show to talk about Gaza's fight for freedom. Also in this video, we dive deep into the story of Ibrahim Traoré, the young revolutionary leader of Burkina Faso who has become a central figure in the struggle against Western influence in Africa. After surviving a recent coup attempt reportedly orchestrated by foreign interests, Traoré has taken bold steps to nationalize Burkina Faso’s gold industry and challenge the dominance of Western powers, including the U.S. and France. We break down how these moves have rattled the establishment and why mainstream media coverage often misses the real story behind Africa’s resource battles.
Discover how General Michael Langley of AFRICOM and U.S. senators have publicly criticized Traoré, accusing him of corruption while conveniently ignoring their own countries’ histories of exploiting African resources. We expose the hypocrisy of Western leaders who lament Africa’s poverty while benefiting from centuries of wealth extraction. This episode unpacks the historical context, from the Berlin Conference’s arbitrary borders to the ongoing economic control wielded through mechanisms like the CFA franc, and explains why currency and resource sovereignty are at the heart of current tensions in West Africa.
We also explore the wave of anti-imperialist sentiment sweeping across the region, with Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, and other former French colonies expelling foreign troops and media outlets. Traoré’s push for a new currency and the creation of the Alliance of Sahel States signal a growing movement for pan-African unity and self-determination. Learn how these developments threaten the status quo and why Western governments are so invested in maintaining their grip on African economies and politics.
Finally, Lee Camp addresses the broader media landscape, questioning why so many independent voices have shifted rightward and how establishment efforts to control the narrative impact public understanding of global events. If you’re tired of corporate news spin and want a fresh, unfiltered perspective on Africa, imperialism, and the shifting balance of power, this episode is for you.
