No French Taxes – Traoré Hits France Where It Hurts

Burkina Faso has taken a decisive economic step that is sending shockwaves through Paris. By ending preferential tax arrangements and tightening control over resource revenue, Ibrahim Traoré has directly challenged the financial systems that long benefited French interests in West Africa. What was once framed as cooperation is now being questioned as economic extraction.

This video breaks down how the removal of French tax advantages changes the balance of power, why France is reacting with visible concern, and how this move fits into a broader Sahel-wide push for sovereignty. From gold revenues to energy control, the financial consequences are deeper than many headlines suggest.

As Africa redefines its relationship with former colonial powers, this moment marks a turning point. The era of automatic access is ending, and the geopolitical fallout is only beginning.
