Leadership is complicated. You can never say the people love a leader if you don't live in that country. Someone in America can argue that Nigerians love Tinubu, especially when they read comments from agbadorians who spend 24/7 online defending him and his thoughtless policies.

Traore should've responded to the concerns the Americans raised if he was truly running a transparent government and not stealing from his people. Perhaps Traore could be stealing 5% of their resources as against 50% probably demanded by the French government.

One may argue that it's better, but it doesn't mean that Traore is any better. If you accuse me of being a thief, the onus is on you to prove that you are better than me by running a transparent govt.

You said a lot of things without saying anything. Who made the US the world's police? They are fine with politicians stealing as long as the governance system looks like their so-called democracy. Why have they not invaded Cameroon? Paul Biya has literally colonized the country and its resources, making it his personal estate. but because he plays to their gallery and interest. But as soon as they see an African government that restrict their access to its resources their voice become louder, and amplified by people like you who fail to read in between the lines.

Assuming but not concerning that traore is stealing resources, what has that got to do with them? is he the only leader in Africa who's stealing? What is Tinubu and his cohorts doing in Nigeria?

US has a bigger problem than Burkina Faso right now, they should mind their own business.

Is meddling in the affairs of other countries also part of America first policy of Donald trump?

Who are they to lecture African leaders, captain Ibrahim Traore is better than Donald trump 100 times

You mean the only continent without a developed country with a military coup in 2025 is better than Trump?

Was your US visa revoked?

Ibrahim Traore committed treason when he carried out a coup in Burkina Faso. He will eventually be removed by force too.

But US didn’t commit treason when they killed Gadafi or Israel didn’t commit treason when they killed thousands of innocent people in Gaza and stole their land? They deceive yourself. You know how many legit government US to scatter?” Or die their leader.

Has the American government accusers purged themselves of what they accuse others of? Look at all their invasions carefully, particularly in the African continent whose interest were they really protecting?

You are bias, you could have well added that America may think Tinubu is the worst president Nigeria has ever produced judging by how Obeedeeeeioooot bark day and night on the internet. If you need to drive an opinion, drive it with your full chest outside, don't do it like a fool.

Gaining power with gun is wrong with thisnpresent world standard, and no matter the goodness of such leader, it is not acceptable in this present world. Democracy is what this world has embraced presently, and if you must go against it, then, be prepared to defend it with your life. After all, those who brought democracy did so too. They fought kings who did not want the monarchy system to be eradicated with their blood. Yes, he may be a lesser devil beloved by his people, but he opposes current world political acceptance; thus, he must be prepared to fight.

Is it worth it in my opinion? Absolutely not. You can have your opinion, but this is mine. Using a gun to impose yourself on your people is morally and ethically unacceptable. Then, doing something good to make people love you and keep them under your control is manipulative. Go for a credible election and allow the people to choose you for a term. And you can recontest for a 2nd term. What is so hard in that? But you choose to remain in power with gun. Too wrong.

Let's compare him with Biya of Cameroon. That one keeps using the senate to extend how many times he can contest. Yea, it is wrong to me, but he followed the law and tweaked it so that no one can complain. Same too is what Putin did. And Trump is trying to do same. Yes, these are manipulative ways, but acceptable. Are just just? Nope. But the guys are smart to tweak the acceptable system to make them rule for long so no one can complain. Is it selfish? Yes. Is it healthy? Nope. But hope you gdt my point.

In summary, doing something unethical, even if it appears to be very good, will be frowned upon until the price is paid to make it ethically acceptable. If he does not want to give up his throne so easily, he should be prepared to pay the price. And it could be with his life.

This is absolutely rift from common sense! There are many diplomatic ways in which US can protest or show their disapproval over ill mannered government and it must not be under force or coercion. After all, right now the US is been govern by a clique of mafias as such, transcend to this; they have to remove the log in their eyes first.

If Donal Trump ever dreams of a heinous crime like this I will withdraw my support for him. Who is that bastard in military gear talking?, it can never be the republicans to punder such absurdity. Why is the US so much interested in vandalizing Burkinafaso? The gold reserves?. It will never happen this time. One thing that comes to mind....the book 'how Europe underdeveloped Africa'. Wipe them off Traore, if they dare to act on such nonsene, Africa should man up, unite and subdue this unnecessary interference. Bleep whoever has that thought and if Trum is involved, Bleep him too.

Instead make every African leader use this guy as a rallying point, dem just fold hand. The other day I saw a Kenyan senator saying envious things about Traore.

It's interesting to note that the terrorist attacks and imperialists all started threatening him the moment he turned down Saudis offer to build hundreds of mosques in his country. That's something to think about

They all know this guy is right but greed and cowardice won't let them realise the pain they keep us.
