Ibrahim Traoré, Burkina Faso, and Africa News reveal a new chapter of sovereignty as 8,000 soldiers become farmers. In 2025, President Traoré launched Operation Harvest—a daring plan to turn the nation's army into agricultural builders. What began as a survival measure soon became an economic revolution: soldiers cultivating 100,000 hectares, villages regaining stability, and a nation freeing itself from food dependency. Western critics call it "militarized farming," but many Africans see it as independence through labor. This video uncovers how discipline, soil, and vision merged to create a model that may redefine Africa's defense-feeding its people instead of waiting for aid. Is this economic strategy or the dawn of a new trade war over food sovereignty?
