It is truly a pleasure listening to this man speak (the second interview is AI dubbed unfortunately, and even in the other two videos i could tell, with my limited knowledge of French, that occasionally the translation is a bit off, but nonetheless you get the jist of it). He is incredibly eloquent and has such a good grasp on geopolitics, and exactly the kind of world view one would hope from an African leader.

I highly recommend listening to at least the third video on the second article, where he is giving a speech to the African university students. It was really inspiring, and the students also seemed to think so, as toward the end some of them were shouting Sankara's famous "La Patrie ou la mort, Nous vaincrons", "Homeland or death, we will win".

If this is representative of the general attitude and outlook of the young African generation then the AES (Alliance des États du Sahel) will prosper.
