Did you know that white people make up only 7% of the global population? This thought-provoking question was raised by Yaya, a biracial woman, in a viral social media video. She shared her surprise that so many people, herself included, were unaware of this fact. Yaya reflected on how such a small percentage holds disproportionate global influence, stressing that white supremacy persists not because the numbers support it, but because it is actively allowed. Her video sparked widespread conversations about power, privilege, and representation. If Black people are the global majority, how can African people, both on the continent and in the diaspora, unite to dismantle white supremacy and build a more equitable future?

Burkina Faso's Bold Move To Pay Off Debt

In 2024, Burkina Faso made a major stride in its pursuit of financial independence by repaying 3,000 billion FCFA (around $4.79 billion) of its domestic debt. While this marks a significant achievement for the country, it doesn't erase all of its financial obligations. As of the end of 2023, Burkina Faso's public debt was 55.6% of GDP, with expectations to rise to 57.2% in 2024.

Despite still holding over $1.99 billion in outstanding bonds, President Traore is pushing for greater economic sovereignty. By rejecting financial assistance from the IMF, Burkina Faso is taking bold steps towards reducing its reliance on external creditors, prioritizing self-reliance over foreign intervention.

This development underscores the ongoing challenges and aspirations for economic independence in Africa.
