We have always said that if African countries can stop relying on the West, the continent will start to develop. This statement is true and it is being played out in Burkina Faso. Unlike most African countries that still continue to receive funds from the West to run their countries, Burkina Faso has ditched the West and is looking inwards to solve its challenges. Recently, Burkina Faso under the leadership of President Traore has embarked on the construction of roads in rural areas. But, the interesting thing about this construction is that it is being done without any funds. We know it sounds absurd to say. But stay with us till the end of this video and you will know how Traore has been able to achieve this remarkable feat without any money.

Any expert on challenges facing the African continent will tell you that African challenges require African solutions. Since Independence, African countries have looked towards the West for solutions concerning the myriad of challenges facing the continent. Everything including insecurity, food, technology, health, finances and even politics have all been from the West. However, this has created a dependency factor. African countries are now so dependent on the West that it seems so hard to break out from. But the worst part is that the West has taken advantage of this dependency to compel African countries to help protect their interests. Additionally, most of the solutions advocated by the West have created more chaos and instability.

Take for instance the Sahel countries. For decades, these countries have depended on the West for their security and monetary needs. The insecurity in the region allowed Western countries such as France and the US to set up their military bases and enforce their military strength in the region. As for the monetary needs, the Sahel countries depended so much on aid from the West so much so that half of their annual budget relied of foreign aid. However the aid granted Western countries access to the resources in the region. Interestingly, despite the presence of Western military force, the insecurity in the Sahel did not reduce.
