Burkina Faso just flipped the script on the old aid narrative. While the West keeps lecturing about dependency and conditional packages, President Ibrahim Traoré’s government has launched a massive 60,000 ton subsidized agricultural input offensive 60,000 tons of urea and NPK plus 15,000 tons of improved seeds delivered straight to farmers with zero strings attached. Commander Ismaël Sombié rolled it out in Réo on May 5th, and this is real food sovereignty in action under Traoré’s leadership.
