BURKINA MEGA PROJECT EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT

Описание: They said a poor, landlocked Sahel country could never pull this off.
No big lenders.
No foreign contractors.
No green light from Paris or Washington.

Yet in December 2025, Burkina Faso quietly did the unthinkable.

A 332-kilometer, eight-lane highway, fully funded from inside the country, is now under construction between Ouagadougou and Bobo-Dioulasso. No donor conferences. No foreign credit-taking ceremonies. Just dust, machines, and a government that decided to move.

For many Africans—especially in the diaspora—this isn’t just about a road.
It feels like proof that the rules we were forced to accept are starting to break.

In this episode of Frontline Africa, we dig into:

Why this highway is shaking the old development model

How Burkina Faso financed it without foreign lenders

What this means for the Sahel Alliance (Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger)

The rise of Ibrahim Traoré as a symbol—and a target

And why France’s influence in the region is collapsing faster than many expected
