That’s the question echoing through West African diplomatic circles after the latest clashes in this strategically vital town in northern Mali.

Burkina Faso trades gold for Russian wheat amid humanitarian crisis

Between economic contradictions and political cynicism The capital Ouagadougou is sending a clear, if paradoxical, message about its priorities. While state authorities proudly declare a commitment to sovereignty and self-reliance, they simultaneously rely on foreign aid to meet the most basic food needs of their people. The recent visit of a high-ranking Russian diplomat has laid bare the harsh reality behind this duality, revealing a transaction that raises serious questions about economic independence and national dignity. A fragile sovereignty exposed Since seizing power, the transitional authorities have repeatedly emphasized their determination to break away from external influence and rebuild Burkina Faso on its own terms. Yet the decision to transfer the country’s gold reserves ...

Cameroon cacao price hits record high of 2600 fcfa

The Cameroonian Cocoa Market Sees a Record High The Cameroonian cocoa market has reached its highest point yet, with prices reaching FCFA 2,600 in late July. This marks an eight-day record from the end of the official season, set for July 15th. A Late Recovery After a Frustrating Season The market saw a late recovery after a frustrating season, where the price had been stuck below expectations since the start of the campaign.

Among the first to respond, Cameroon implemented strict measures to prevent the misuse of its maritime registry—a move that could disrupt illicit trade networks. While the EU bears the political brunt of these actions, several member states are quietly sharing intelligence wi...

The authorities in Ouagadougou recently recalled multiple agents stationed abroad, a decision framed as a routine restructuring of the diplomatic network. However, for those affected, this forced repatriation represents a far more consequential disruption to their lives. In...
