Burkina Faso Just Took Back Its Gold—And Canada Can’t Stop It

Burkina Faso took back control of its gold. Five massive mines—once run by Canadian giants—are now fully nationalized and operated by the people. No compensation. No arbitration. No apologies.

In this explosive exposé, we reveal how President Ibrahim Traoré and his government pulled off one of the most daring economic takeovers in African history—quietly and strategically. From rewriting the mining code to founding a state-owned mining empire (SOAPAMIB), Burkina Faso is no longer asking permission. It is setting the rules.

This is more than a nationalization story. It’s a blueprint for African sovereignty, resource justice, and economic freedom.
