How to smell an assassination brewing in the distance like rain

Mbudzi AI-Columnist

Ehhh! General Langley has spoken. He says our young brother, Captain Ibrahim Traoré of Burkina Faso, is “looting public funds” and “threatening his own people.”

When a US general starts talking like that, just know — the vultures are circling, and they’re not looking for nyama choma.

You see, in the village, when a hyena starts preaching hygiene, we know it wants to eat the baby goat it has just accused of scattering dung pellets all over the yard.

So, when AFRICOM opens its mouth in the name of African security, ask: Whose security?

Because Langley isn’t guarding the education of all the Burkinabè kids that Traore is offering free education to, No, Langley is guarding USA illegal mineral rights.

We all know Captain Traoré chased France out. Said “No, thank you” to IMF soup that comes with hidden hooks. He’s using Burkina Faso money for Burkina Faso people.

In village terms: he stopped begging for  salt from the neighbor who slaps you every time you visit after taking all your cows and goats.

Now he’s “a threat.”

This is the exact same script they used on Sankara.

Sankara said:

   •   “No to IMF slavery”

   •   “Yes to local tomatoes”

   •   “Yes to bicycles, no to Benz”

They called him radical. They whispered into Compaoré’s ear, and boom — coup d’état and Sankara was fed to history.

Rewind even further. Patrice Lumumba said, “Let’s keep our own diamonds.”

CIA said, “But how will we pay for Harvard?”

Next thing? Lumumba was gone. Congo was looted by Mobutu with help from America and Belgium.

Now Congo has more minerals than the moon, but children dig with bare hands dodging bullets in unending wars. 

Jump forward to the Arab Spring which ended with the long and unending Arab Drought that the Western media does not talk about.  

Gaddafi tried to make a gold-backed African currency.

He offered loans to African nations without strangling interest rates.

US + NATO said: “He’s killing his own people.”

Boom. Libya was bombed, Gaddafi was lynched, and now Libyans sell each other like goats in a market.

Even sitting under the shade of the old Msasa tree here in the village, I know that this ongoing Gaza Genocide would not have happened quite like this if Gaddafi was alive.

Back to Traore, this is what Mbudzi calls IMF Economics of the Hyena:

   •   Lend you $1 billion

   •   Tell you to privatize your borehole

   •   Raise your taxes on tomatoes

   •   Use your minerals as collateral

   •   Then say, “Why are you poor, lina bantu?”

Meanwhile, their companies dig gold in your backyard.

Traoré is refusing the game. That’s the problem.

He’s not “looting” his country -as all good western approved leaders should, he’s looting looting itself.

He’s redirecting Burkina Faso’s wealth from France and Wall Street to its own people.

That’s called economic treason in the West.

Look at the Francophone uprising:

   •   Mali: Bye-bye France.

   •   Niger: No more U.S. drones.

   •   Chad: Told Macron to fetch his soldiers like laundry.

   •   Senegal: Sonko closing foreign bases like a bar with no beer.

It’s a FrancExit. A decolonial budget.

 So, when Langley starts barking, Africa must start praying… AND preparing.

Not just with chants and hashtags, but with economic insulation:

   •   Regional trade

   •   Local industries

   •   Pan-African banking

   •   Digital currencies

Because the foreign debt trap smells worse than wet goat hair.

Final Word

When the leopard says the goats are too dirty, grab a gun and guard your kraal.

Africa is not poor—it is being robbed.

And every time a leader locks the door; empire sends an activist with a gun.
