He is a far lesser evil than his predecessors (excluding Thomas Sankara the Great)

Absolute bunkum! Troare is working for his people to the best of the countrys finances. This is a country that has been looted to the ground by a bunch of military officers imposed by France. The same country responsible for Frances high gold reserves. France and her imperialists cousins should free Africans. Enough should be Enough! No amount of barefaced propaganda will sway the public opinion against Traore. All these write up being dropped at the speed of light are paid for by the neo colonialists..

The west is planning to assassinate this man the same way they did Thomas Sankara. The same western world that kept quiet while Blaise Campoare looted Burkina Faso to the ground. They have already finished their plans but are now waiting for hired writers to prepare the minds of ordinary Africans before unleashing their plans. And as is always the case, we have a bunch of hopeless and hapless young Africans willing to sell their soul for a pot of porridge, as they write all sorts of trashy articles against a young man that has put his life on the line for his people.. It is a shame
Kindly relocate to Burkina Faso, if you believed this nonsense you just regurgitated. Go and stay there for just three months, I want to check something.
Yen yen yen on social media, the citizens of Burkina Faso are feeling the heat so much so they dare not raise their voice.

Some of you just wake up and cook stories without fact.

I just return from Ouagadougou last week and i will tell you people are sleeping on the street to protect this guy, so far he has survived several assassinations' attempt by French president using some African leaders especially the one that Paris is now his second home.

The truth is that i dont know where you belong but as far as African leaders will continue to be a pupet under white slave masters, Coup will not stop

They told us the same lies about Gaddafi


Now they are telling us the same lies about a man who is doing well for his country,


He has already built a gold refining plant in his country,he is also doing well In areas of agriculture, education,he has also paid all the debt his country is owning.

No foreign power is stilling their gold presently.

Why are they not talking about MBBS Abi what is the name self who voted him to rule Saudi Arabia, and all those ruling families in middle eastern,why are they not talking about democracy in North Korea, why are they not talking about democracy in Syria

Democracy is not the only system of government,in fact democracy is too expensive

Lol
Since tinubu came back from France
APC whatsapp groups and Twitter handles led by people from the SW have initiated anti traore campaigns.
They hate it when other countries do well and are compared to the aso rock drug capon

Dear tinubu supporters just know we are ahead of you
The democracy oyibo sold to Africa how from has it taken Africa?
Why don't they force democracy on Saudi and qatar. Africa always bends to their will. They sign treaties that make dem sell out our young men for jakpa and extradition. Take all our resources and still try to dictate what we do

Timemanager the op is on APC payroll. They have brought this campaign to nairaland. Watch out for them. The Twitter campaign version is collecting slapps globally
Lol stop it !

Nigerian President came into power in 2023, the value of niara is less than CFA, purchasing power in Nigeria is lower, security is at the lowest point. Mr writer why did you skip Nigeria Republic your immediate neighbor and went far to Bukina which is miles away. Since Tinubu came from France, the media had been filled with trash about Traore. If our looters are as sincere and committed as Traore, Nigeria will be a living heaven.

Re: Captain Ibrahim Traoré: The Soldier Selling Africa False Hope by olayinka63: 4:35pm On Apr 28, 2025
They’ve started the playbook again. And we’ve seen this story before.

Yesterday, reports emerged that Burkina Faso has made education free. That same Burkina Faso is now mining its own gold and using the returns to defend its country. They’ve told France to pack up and leave. For good.

And now suddenly, Western media and military voices are calling Captain Ibrahim Traoré a dictator. One of them, General Michael Langley of the US Africa Command, recently claimed that Traoré’s regime is dangerous. Dangerous to who?

We’ve seen this script before. Muammar Gaddafi was called a dictator. Thomas Sankara was branded a threat. Patrice Lumumba was eliminated. They all had one thing in common. They wanted Africa to rise on its own terms.

Gaddafi’s Libya was not perfect, but the UN Human Development Report in 2010 showed that Libya had the highest Human Development Index in Africa. Free education. Free healthcare. Subsidized housing. Cheap fuel. Now look at Libya after “liberation.” Is it better?

Let’s be honest. What they fear is not dictatorship. What they fear is independence.

They fear an Africa that mines its own gold, grows its own food, educates its children for free, and tells Western corporations no more.

They fear a leader who defends his people with African money, not foreign aid.

They fear a Burkina Faso that controls its own resources instead of signing shady contracts with foreign companies.

They fear a Nigeria whose elections reflect the will of its young people. Not rigged systems. Not puppets. Not compromised elites.

We’ve all seen the reports about Boko Haram. Its rise was not just from the ground up. It was enabled for geopolitical interest. The “war on terror” became a tool to sell weapons, secure oil deals, and support weak governments.

This is not conspiracy. This is history repeating itself.

To every young African reading this

Colonialism never left. It only changed form.
It returned as bad governance, debt traps, fake democracy, resource theft, and the elimination of every leader who dared to stand up.
Then they return with “aid” as if we are helpless. As if we have no memory.

We are not children. We are not slaves. This continent is ours. And no Western general, no media outlet, no foreign puppet should choose our leaders for us.

We want freedom.
We want dignity.
We want the Africa Sankara died for.

And we are not begging anymore.

Obviously, this individual is probably paid to write this nonsense.

We can also ask him, what the so called democracy and the politicians it enpower, have achieved. All we see is waste of funds and politicians, getting away with their corrupt practices by virtue of them bribing and corrupting the very system that is suppose to hold them accountable.

Nonsense.

What a poorly done hatchet job!
The truth is there for all to see and you don't need to read this before you know what is truly going on in Burkina Faso.

Once they're paid $500 compromised news media can write just anything requested by their Western masters, so thanks Premium Times for letting us know where you stand, and also for exposing Umar Farouk Bala as the brown envelope journalist that he truly is.
Re: Captain Ibrahim Traoré: The Soldier Selling Africa False Hope by nwirinedu(m): 4:40pm On Apr 28, 2025
What is his crime? Why cant they control their natural resources?

Are the western countries like France practicing democracy? So stealing someone's natural resources is now democracy.

IF Burkina Faso is a poor underdeveloped country, why are they plotting to remove its leader?

The era of getting natural resources from Africa for cheap and selling false democracy by parasites is over.

Why we always find a way to discredit Africans leaders bringing positive change
What has democracy given African?
Saudi, China, Kuwait are a few examples of countries that developed a system outside democracy and it's working well for them
If this brings out the change Africa needs
Captain Traore should be applauded and supported
Re: Captain Ibrahim Traoré: The Soldier Selling Africa False Hope by Thiefobi1: 4:41pm On Apr 28, 2025
Traore is full of lies and propaganda like obidient and their messiah from Agulu.


Same thing abacha did wanting to transform from kaki to babaringa saying Nigerians loves him.

Also lying that he paid their debt of over $6b
