Ibrahim Traoré was told he would be alone. Instead, three years later, country after country across Africa is copying his exact playbook — and this is the complete list.

When Captain Ibrahim Traoré nationalized Burkina Faso's gold, expelled French troops, and tore up the foreign mining contracts, every Western expert said no one would follow. They were wrong. From Mali seizing gold and recovering $1.2 billion, to Niger taking back the uranium that powered France, to Ghana — the continent's biggest gold producer and a stable democracy — building a state Gold Board, the same four-step playbook is spreading across the continent.

In this video we walk through every African country now following the Traoré model of resource nationalism: Mali, Niger, Ghana, Senegal, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Tanzania, Guinea, Namibia, Côte d'Ivoire and Burkina Faso itself. Every law. Every seized mine. Every contract renegotiated. Every number, sourced and documented. And we're honest about the real risks too — corruption, lost expertise, and the danger of swapping a foreign elite for a domestic one.

This is no longer about one man. It is a continental wave. And by the end, you'll understand why the people who controlled Africa's resources for sixty years can no longer stop it.
