What this is
A precise, source-grounded update on what really happened with ADDI’s Burkina Faso citizenship initiative—separating official communications from rumor cycles, and clarifying what was actually in motion as of early September 2025. You’ll see how to read the signals, understand the moving parts, and why, despite the noise, I’m still going.
Why attend:
The real time frame markers and communications to watch (what mattered, and why).
How to interpret ministry-level language vs. social announcements.
What seasoned travelers and organizers look for before boarding a plane.
Why this moment still matters for Abibifahodie ‘Black Liberation’ and practical repatriation steps—without promising citizenship and passports.
A crisp Q&A to help you plan your next move without assumptions.
Background:
Drawing on my recent work in Burkina Faso in cooperation with Nana Yaw Akyeaw’s African Diaspora 126+—meetings, study, and on-the-ground observation—and communications about process and timing, I’ll frame what’s confirmed vs. contingent, what’s communication vs. confusion—and why that distinction matters.
Who this is for:
Kmtyw ‘Black People’ in the Diaspora considering repatriation and investment in Burkina Faso specifically.
Community builders, researchers, and organizers who need clarity over hype.
Anyone tracking policy developments with an eye toward actionable next steps.
