O, a or eco was. It was friends that dictated them in order to damage our economy. They saw with this sanctions the people were going to revolt against the regime. But the people were tired and as to what was happening, they prefer the suffering freedom then to be in slavery. So the people were resilience. Ultimately, the sanctions produced the opposite effect. The expected effect was not a chief congress and the sub region, particularly nigeria being and even ivory coast and signing gulf where more effect as there are many commercial transactions which take place with them. We along with been in use the port of northern nigeria, the majority of the states of know the nigeria and charge us the board of bidding. And molly, people change strategy.

Search by all a leader of Civil Society researcher in african Cultural Studies from burkina. Faso says the us 6 to have a monopoly on Public Opinion and media in africa. I see you dont see this double standard in the west is reflected in the desire to continue manipulating african opinions. They consider that they have a monopoly on african Public Opinion. They know its done to reflect this information manipulation in the colonial narrative. This is why they want african Public Opinion to be their guard at hunt, or a private hunt of their media exclusively. This is why they are very hostile to the russian media, to the arrival of, of the Chinese Media or to other partners to whom the african countries are turning to more more in view of the historical reports and the sincerity of the cooperation. And especially the results that this cooperation makes it possible to obtain. They understand that this compose a threat to them as you know very well, the western media are connected to the political powers in place. And so this proceeds by wanting to keep the African Media space for themselves or their settled couple. I believe that it is not the United States whose record of violating public freedoms is common within the biden administration. They can dare to take this path to teach lessons to what kind of fossil burkina faso is a solver. And people is a free people, free to choose the narrative that suits it, which suits the truth of its history, which suits its interests.

There are no real intentions on the part to us in countries to try to interrupt the situation. So these are due to most everywhere. All of us are concerned about this.

Who were on the ground at the side of the hospital from the beginning until the end of the search and saw no tunnels of resistance, no from aust donald, no tunnels whatsoever.

The interim Prime Minister has been appointed in haiti and the provisional government sworn in the mid the deteriorating situation. The new leader has expressed his readiness to deal with the crisis and the country. Ready after 2 long months of debate with the support of the international community, a solution has been found for the wellbeing of the nation. Today is an important day in the life of our dear republic, with the perspective of a solution to our fundamental objective. Which is to draw up a solution to the multi dimensional crisis that the countries experiencing with a view to arrive. 4 at a definitive outcome, as the transitional counsel will be in place until the next government is appointed. Petty has been plagued by a deep crisis for years, gains are reported to control most of the capital with police and soldiers, and greatly outnumbered and the international airport. And ports being closed due to safety risk in 2010 was quite level to the capital and killed thousands of people with the countries still unable to deal with the devastating consequences of the disaster. But heres what locals say about the situation in the, in the back. No, we have no leaders, we have nothing. All the leaders are corrupt, they cant do anything for us. I wish we, the people could bring them down. But if the president ial counsel really wants to do things properly, it has to start by bringing security to the country. Because the problem we have in the country is in security. And thats why we cant function, why we cant do business. Why we dont have money. Wed like to see change so that we can get out and take part in whatever activities we feel comfortable with so that we can get out and the children can go back to school.

And that will invite the global for julie, the act under which us, which station us troops in haiti and click the country or lifeline. Both of us humanitarian. Nothing has changed. He is simply continuing on as the interim Prime Minister since arial, and re was prevented from returning to the country. You may be replaced in the coming days by a new Prime Minister that will be selected by all the council. I imagine the one to change him just because the optics of this situation will be better if its somebody who is not a former minister in a plain t r e o.
