He reduced the salaries of all public servants, including his own, and forbade the use of government chauffeurs and 1st class airline tickets. As President, he lowered his salary to $450 a month and limited his possessions to a car, four bikes, three guitars, a fridge and a broken freezer. He opposed foreign aid, saying that “he who feeds you, controls you.” Drove out French imperialism & withdrew Burkina Faso from IMF A very productive life that was brutally cut short 💔. He was assassinated at the age of 38. Rest on son of the soil 🕊

Mozambique🇲🇿 has cleared its $701 million debt to the IMF, according to Standard Bank. The repayment led to the cancellation of an IMF mission scheduled for August, though no official statement was made. Mozambique’s foreign exchange reserves are expected to drop from $4.15 billion to $3.5 billion after the repayment. Other African countries, like Nigeria and Namibia, have also recently repaid or reduced their IMF debts.

🇿🇦 South African President Cyril Ramaphosa says that the country will not abandon its DEI policies, known as “Black Economic Empowerment (BEE).” “Those who say BEE and affirmative action must stop are just dreaming,” he said. South Africa has strict laws that mandate race-based hiring practices. A new law called the Employment Equity Amendment Act sets hiring targets for 2025–2030 across 18 economic sectors. Some workforce targets aim for 90–96% of employees to come from designated groups, which include Black people, women, and people with disabilities (minimum 3%). That means that if a company has more than 5% white men, it could face penalties of up to 10% of its income.

The biggest threat to civilization is not climate change or war It is the collapsing birth rate.....It's hitting record lows and consistently accelerating downward If we don’t have enough people to sustain the light of consciousness on Earth, we’ll never make it to the stars. Mars will stay empty. Earth will become a graveyard Population collapse is a choice. We need to stop making it

the belief that birth rate is going down because of cost of living is statistically false birth rate drops most after countries become affluent it’s a self-defeating mechanism this is the final boss of civilization and has not yet been beaten
