In Burkina Faso

, the government of Captain Ibrahim Traoré has acquired all TotalEnergies gas stations and renamed them Baraka Energies.
The head of state, Captain Ibrahim Traoré, together with local Burkinabè investors, has purchased all French-owned TotalEnergies fuel stations in Burkina Faso and rebranded them Baraka Energies.
Speaking to the media, Traoré stated that multinational companies operating in Africa represent a form of new colonialism, which his country is systematically eliminating, one by one.
Burkina Faso becomes the first African country to fully acquire an international company operating within its borders. This means all profits from Baraka Energies will remain in Burkina Faso and not be shared with or repatriated to any foreign entity.
