๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ซ British media finally got to Burkina Faso, and the answers weren't what they were looking for.

Ibrahim Traore, president and leader of the revolution, sat down with Sky News. The journalist came loaded with gotcha questions. He had no problem answering them.

On Russian support he said:

"Indeed, Russian President Vladimir Putin wanted to provide us with all the necessary resources to fight terrorism, including military personnel. But I have always said: we are Burkina Faso. No one will come to fight for us, and that is a non-negotiable principle."

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท Kpler, a market intelligence and data analytics firm specializing in commodity flows, primarily energy, commented on today's news about the Strait of Hormuz:

Strait open, reality constrained

Announcements from Iran and the United States point to a reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, yet operational realities tell a different story. Vessel movement remains confined to controlled corridors requiring approval, limiting throughput and raising compliance and reputational concerns. At the same time, the US naval posture continues to restrict Iranian exports. Markets have responded with cautious optimism, reflected in a short term pullback in prices, but underlying supply dynamics remain tight. Any meaningful recovery in flows depends on a gradual return of shipowners, beginning with a tentative โ€œfirst moversโ€ phase that may restore only a fraction of capacity. A full normalisation in trade and confidence is likely to take months, not weeks.

Also, can someone at Fox News please tell Jesse Watters to ease up on the makeup. The man looks like a blow-up doll Mark Rutte would order online.

โžก๏ธBritish media finally got to Burkina Faso, and the answers weren't what they were looking for. Ibrahim Traore laughs in a British journalist's face after she claims 60% of his country is controlled by jihadists
