94 Tonnes of Gold in a Single Year: Burkina Faso Just Broke the Colonial Mining Model

Описание: In 2025, Burkina Faso produced 94 tonnes of gold in a single year.
That number alone is remarkable — but the real story is how it happened and why it matters for Africa.

For decades, African mining followed a colonial model: foreign companies extracted the wealth, profits flowed overseas, and local communities saw little benefit. Burkina Faso just broke that system.

This video explains:
• How Burkina Faso took greater control of its gold sector
• Why artisanal miners were formalized instead of criminalized
• How state participation replaced extractive dependency
• What 94 tonnes of gold reveals about real economic sovereignty
• Why this shift is being closely watched across Africa and beyond

This is not theory or ideology.
It’s about measurable outcomes — gold production, national revenue, electricity access, and control over strategic resources.

While critics focus on politics, this analysis focuses on results.
Who controls Africa’s resources?
Who benefits from them?
And can a different model actually work?

Burkina Faso’s experience is forcing a serious question onto the global stage:
Is the colonial mining model finally breaking — and what comes next?
