Who Is Ibrahim TraorĂŠ â and Why Is He Reshaping Africaâs Geopolitical Future?
At just 36 years old, Captain Ibrahim TraorĂŠ, president of Burkina Faso, is challenging decades of Western dominance in Africa.
A trained geologist and former artillery officer, TraorĂŠ has seen firsthand the devastation in the Sahel â rising terrorism, deep poverty, and foreign interference. But he asked the hard questions:
⢠Why did billions in foreign aid never stop the collapse?
⢠Why were foreign troops present, yet insecurity only grew?
⢠Why did Africaâs mineral wealth enrich outsiders â not its own people?
September 2022: TraorĂŠ led a coup, ousting the Western-backed interim president and declaring a new era of sovereignty.
Since then:
⢠French troops expelled
⢠Colonial-era military agreements torn up
⢠Western media and NGOs restricted
⢠New partnerships forged with Russia, China, and Iran
Under his leadership:
⢠Gazprom is helping develop Burkina Fasoâs first oil reserve
⢠China is investing in infrastructure and tech â with no military footprint
⢠Burkina Faso is no longer begging â itâs negotiating.
âBurkina Faso needs to be free,â TraorĂŠ said.
And heâs not just talking â heâs acting.
In a world where geopolitics is shifting fast, keep your eye on Burkina Faso.
A new Africa is rising â and Ibrahim TraorĂŠ is leading the charge.
