Burkina Faso: Tax revenues soar to record high under revolutionary leadership
Thanks to the wave of patriotism instilled since the advent of the Popular Progressive Revolution; in both public and private services the sense of responsibility within the administration of Burkina Faso has been significantly strengthened, resulting in exceptional outcomes in domestic resource mobilization.
The virtuous governance and exemplary sobriety demonstrated by the highest authorities, particularly by Captain Ibrahim Traoré himself, continue to reinforce public trust.
Citizens now fulfill their tax obligations more willingly, paying their taxes and actively contributing to the fight against fraud in all its forms.
This virtuous circle of restored trust between citizens and the state is a precious achievement of the revolution one that must be preserved and consolidated.
Under the dynamic leadership of Captain Ibrahim Traoré, President of Faso and Head of State, the public servants truly servants of the people have once again demonstrated their unwavering commitment to mobilizing domestic revenue, proving that the administration of Burkina Faso is capable of performance on par with the best financial management bodies of the continent.
According to official data published by the Ministry of Economy and Finance, domestic revenue mobilization results for the first quarter of 2026 have far exceeded the most optimistic forecasts, setting a new record in the countrrecent history of the country.
Against an initial target of 733 billion CFA francs, 790.2 billion CFA francs were actually mobilized; an excess of more than 57 billion above expectations.
This remarkable performance reflects both the resilience of the national economy and the ever-increasing strength of the financial management agencies.
These excellent results stem from a combination of factors that testify to the relevance of the reforms undertaken under the leadership of Captain Ibrahim Traoré , notably the increased digitalization of tax and customs procedures, which reduces the risks of corruption and collusion between agents and taxpayers.

UAE paid Colombian mercenaries to help Sudan militants commit genocide: Report

UAE paid Colombian mercenaries to help Sudan militants commit genocide: Report

The United Arab Emirates paid Colombian mercenaries to help Sudan’s militant group, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), massacre thousands of civilians in the northeastern African country, a report says.
The BBC released the report on Saturday, citing an investigation by the Conflict Insights Group (CIG) that collected data from tracking the mobile phones of the Colombian mercenaries.
CIG director Justin Lynch told the BBC that the investigation by the security analysis organization is “the first research where we can prove UAE involvement with certainty” in the Sudan conflict.
“We are making public what governments have long known – that there is a direct link between Abu Dhabi and the RSF,” he added.
The RSF, which has been fighting the Sudanese army over the past few years, currently controls large swathes of the country’s southwestern territories, including most of the region of Darfur.
The militants captured el-Fasher on October 26, 2025, with reports saying they massacred thousands of civilians who failed to flee the city.
A UN fact-finding mission found that RSF actions in el-Fasher show “hallmarks of genocide” against the Zaghawa and Fur communities.
CIG tracked the mobile phones of over 50 Colombian mercenaries present in Sudan between April 2025 and January 2026.
It found that the Colombian mercenaries were stationed at several regional staging areas, such as an Emirati military training site in Ghayathi, Abu Dhabi, before travelling to Sudan.
Operating as drone pilots, artillerymen, and instructors in a brigade known as the Desert Wolves, the Colombian mercenaries are employed by a UAE-based company with ties to senior Emirati government officials, according to the CIG research.
Lynch said, “The scale of atrocities and siege in el-Fasher wouldn’t have happened without the drone operations the mercenaries provided.”
Despite denials by the UAE, several reports have suggested that the Persian Gulf Arab country supports RSF militants in Sudan in a bid to get access to gold and secure control over Red Sea shipping lanes, as well as agricultural land.

Mali in Crisis as Rebels, Terrorists Seize Towns After Defence Chief Killed
27 April 2026
Mali is facing one of its most serious security crises in years after coordinated attacks struck multiple cities, including Bamako, Gao, and Kati. Separatist rebels and al-Qaeda-linked fighters have reportedly seized key territories and military positions. The violence has killed Defence Minister Sadio Camara and injured senior military officials. At least 16 people have been wounded as fighting continues. The attacks signal a dangerous escalation, with rival armed groups aligning against the state. The situation raises fresh concerns about stability in Mali and the wider Sahel region.

THE REAL REASON THEY K!LLED MALI’S DEFENSE MINISTER
27 April 2026
Mali’s Defence Minister General Sadio Camara has been confirmed dead — killed by a suicide car bomb that destroyed his residence in Kati alongside his second wife and two grandchildren. The Malian government confirmed his death on state television. Meanwhile, Kidal has fallen to the Azawad Liberation Front after Russia’s Africa Corps withdrew under a negotiated deal. But that is not the full story. In this follow-up to yesterday’s breaking coverage, we examine: the confirmed facts 48 hours into this crisis, the Russia-Africa Corps official statement claiming Western intelligence agencies trained the attackers, Russia’s Foreign Ministry accusing Western security services of involvement, the SVR’s February 2026 allegations that France plotted regime change across the Sahel, the controversy surrounding military uniforms worn by the attackers, the 10,000–12,000 fighter estimate, the loss of Kidal, and what this means for the Alliance of Sahel States. We centre Africa in global affairs. Stay with us.

COVID Reality Check: Dr. Chetty on What We’re Seeing Now
18 April 2026
At the beginning of 2026, Dr. Shankara Chetty and I discussed what we believed the year would bring—more immune dysregulation, rising chronic illness, subtle reinfections, and a growing disconnect between what patients feel and what medicine is willing to acknowledge.
Now, months later, we return to ask the most important question: were we right? In this follow-up discussion, we look at what has changed, what patterns are becoming clearer, and whether the pandemic trajectory is unfolding as expected. Using both frontline clinical experience and broader population-level dashboard data, we explore what is happening beneath the surface—why more people feel unwell despite “normal” tests, why excess mortality and chronic disease patterns continue to rise, and what this means for the months ahead. This is not a discussion about fear, but about preparation. If we are to understand what comes next, we must first be honest about what is happening now.

Is COVID Causing Immune Collapse? The Science Behind the Claims
11 April 2026
In this interview, I sit down with Joachim Gerlach, the lead author of a provocative new paper exploring whether persistent spike protein exposure may be driving a broader pattern of immune dysfunction in the post-pandemic era. We take a hard look at the science behind the claims, including immune dysregulation, T-cell exhaustion, interferon suppression, stem-cell vulnerability, and the reported rise in opportunistic infections.
The key question is whether this represents true immune deficiency or a more complex state of chronic immune maladaptation. Rather than simply accepting the conclusions, I challenge the framework directly and explore what is supported by evidence, what remains hypothesis, and what clinicians should actually be measuring in patients today. If you are interested in long COVID, persistent inflammation, viral persistence, macrophage-driven disease, or the future of immune phenotyping, this discussion goes to the heart of one of the most important scientific debates of the post-pandemic period.

BURKINA MILITARY D€STROYS CROSS BORDER T€RROR FORCE
17 April 2026
Burkina Faso has just executed one of the most precise and coordinated military operations in recent Sahel history. On April 14, 2026, Burkinabè forces identified, tracked, and dismantled a major cross-border terrorist formation in the Abinda region—eliminating over 100 fighters with zero reported civilian casualties.
But this story goes beyond the battlefield. In this episode, we break down how intelligence from local Dozo hunters, combined with advanced drone warfare and coordinated air-ground strategy, created a new model for counterinsurgency in Africa.
From TB2 surveillance to Akıncı strike capabilities, this operation signals a major shift in how wars are being fought—and won—on the continent. We also examine the broader implications across the Sahel, including the evolving threat posed by JNIM, the growing role of regional alliances, and what this operation reveals about the future of African-led security systems under leaders like Ibrahim Traoré.
At the same time, we confront difficult questions about military accountability and operational standards across Africa—highlighting the stark contrast between intelligence-led precision and repeated civilian casualties in other theatres. This is not just a victory. It’s a blueprint. Watch till the end and tell us—can this model be replicated across the continent, or is this a one-off moment in a much longer war?
