But I'll still to add that the flying wing concept is not an entirely German brainwork.
In fact the flying wing concept has been in development decades before the Germans conceived theirs. US Northrop Grumman developers of B2 has been practicing with the flying wing concept long before the Germans.
In the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s they've developed various variant of the N-1M, N-9M, YB 35/49 which all these later contributes into B2 Spirit development. Attached below are pictures.

Decades of development is what help them to win the contract against formidable defense contractors, the reason why they also won the new B21 raider Stealth bomber contract.
We we can safely say the flying wing stealth concept is an indigenous America design, perfected over the years, this is not negating if similar concept has been developed in other countries like the German Horten Ho 229. But what obedience2 is trying to say, unlike the German whose main reason for developing the H2 is for greater payload and not because of Stealth, same with earlier Northrop flying wing designs. Northrop revolutionize the concept of flying incorporating not only larger payload with reduce drag but also Stealth components of flying wing.
There was nothing stealthy about the German Ho 229 that was why I added the wiki page for the Ho229 for him to read. The German makers tried to make a claim about the B2 Spirit stealthy capabilities, the guys at Northrop Grumman had to build a new Ho229 and tested it using old radar and it was shown not to have stealthy capabilities even when tested on old radars

Every one knows that the first operational aircraft made that incorporated stealthy technology is the US Lockheed Martin F-117 Nighthawk this paved the way for the Lockheed Martin F22 raptor and the Northrop Grumman B2 Spirit bombers.

⚡Burkina Faso President Ibrahim Traore:

There will be no more exporting of gold to foreign countries for processing.

Burkina Faso's gold will be used to back up the country's currency.
A nice economic ideal. I'm not the 'our resources' person but it's hightime Africa start shoring up strategic reserves. Gold to resource rich countries is like dollars to US. if you can't print your local money anyhow because of inflationary measures atleast you can stock up/print gold and save them up...
Nigeria has hundreds of billions of dollars of gold reserves why can't we mine this to shore up our foreign reserves.
Or even print naira, then use the naira to invest heavily in solid mineral extractions which can be exported or saved (as gold). In that case the gold will negate any inflationary pressure of naira printing...
Abi economics? Does it works?

Well was Ho229 the first stealthy bomber made? Northrop spent thousands of dollars to proof that claim using an exact replica. The result?

Ho229 offers no Stealth advantage than the traditional German bombers back then. An early warning WW2 British rader could easily spot the H2 same as would of any bomber back then.
The jet was stealth. I already addressed that here: https://www.nairaland.com/7481160/russia-ukraine-war-world-news-weapons/2172#131285385

Exactly. The US captured the prototype after world war two and moved it to the US.
Lots of things the US and soviet union captured from the Germans.

Sometimes or maybe most times it's not the African leaders fault. The entire Africa sub-Saharan population both me and you inclusive is at fault for the bane underdevelopment in the region. African have the highest number of unproductive/innovative populace (if it's our fault or not that's another topic of discussions). Countries with the lowest skill set has Africa toping the charts.

That's I hate this our resources narrative, yes you have the resources but do you have the technical know how on how to extract?
Look at local mining industries in nigeria how many kg of raw minerals can dey extract annually? that's if they can peacefully coexist, but you see resources rich countries with different factions for fighting for same.

We are not at that stage of showing pride, we still need foreign influence and technicalities then when we've learned from them we can kick them out, but we are not there yet.
We missed the industrial rush! We failed to take advantage of the scramble now we are even far left behind.

There's no advantage Africa is adding to the world, there's nothing of value that you have. We have no leverage, we got no influence, we are just a burden.

Please what happened to the coup some people tried to stage in Venezuela? I heard they could only topple some statues.

Imagine a country announcing the election results of another country. Nothing we no go see for this life.
They shouldn't also think of attacking Venezuela because I know Russia will come to their defence
