Before colonization, my ancestors had no knowledge of Jesus until Europeans arrived on our land, after which everything began to change and unravel.
It is time to return religion to its rightful owner.
“Revolutionaries didn't choose armed struggle as the best path. It's the path that oppressors imposed on people. So people have only two choices: to suffer or to fight.”

In the contemporary history of Burkina Faso, this is a first. In Africa and the rest of the world, it is an extremely rare occurrence, according to prison authorities: a sitting head of state visiting a prison. Captain Ibrahim TRAORE did just that on April 22, 2026.

A people will never be free when they worship a God assigned to them and they can never respect a black father in the home when they have a white father hanging on the wall.

They Said Africa Had No History—So Why Are Their Museums Full of It?
For centuries, a dangerous idea was repeated: Africa has no history, no civilization, no culture, no legacy worth recording.
But if that were true, why are thousands of African artifacts sitting in foreign museums today?
From royal bronzes to sacred masks, ancient manuscripts to carved ivory—these are not just objects. They are evidence of complex societies, skilled craftsmanship, political systems, and deep spiritual traditions.
Take the Benin Bronzes—looted during the 1897 British invasion of the Kingdom of Benin. Today, many remain in institutions like the British Museum, far from the land that created them.
The contradiction is impossible to ignore: How can a continent be called “history-less” while its history is being preserved—some would say hidden—elsewhere?
This wasn’t accidental. Colonial narratives erased African achievements to justify domination. If a people have no past, it becomes easier to control their future. Culture was taken, reframed, renamed, and relocated.
Now the conversation is shifting. African nations are demanding their heritage back—not as a favor, but as a right.
These artifacts are more than museum pieces. They are identity, memory, and continuity.
So the real question is: Was Africa ever without history… or was its history simply taken?
