From an army captain to Africa’s youngest leader, Ibrahim Traore catapulted himself to the highest office in his country, Burkina Faso, after seizing power in a military coup in 2022.
Traore’s previously unknown face is now plastered on portraits in the capital Ouagadougou and in many parts of West Africa with many comparing him with Burkina Faso’s revered revolutionary leader, Thomas Sankara, who was assassinated in 1987.
This is coming as the new wind of pan-Africanism and anti-French sentiments appears to be blowing fast in West Africa.
Young military officers like Traore have promised to end ties with France fueling the anti-French feelings and raising hopes for many citizens who say the former colonial power has not helped matters in the region regarding security and economy.
There have been debates over the growing relationship between Russia’s former French colonies amid the uncertainty in the region.
Captain Traore has been clear on his desire for ties with Russia.
So, who really is Captain Ibrahim Traore?

Ibrahim is doing an amazing job in Burkina Faso. Helping to rid it of corruption while fighting off coup attempts and assassination attempts by the west. Oh how the west hate such honest selfless people.

Putin is not playing around anymore….
He is a great axample of what all African leaders should be, Hats off to you sir
Lol. They used the word “captured”
He is a real leader! He have all my respect from Romania!
Stop your lies! IBRAHIM IS OUR HERO! OUR HOPE! IT IS EUROPE AND AMERICA THAT HAVE CAPTURED BURKINA AND THE REST OF AFRICA! DOWN WITH NONSENSE DEMOCRACY… LETS SEE YOU TRY YOUR BULLSHIT ON SAUDI ARABIA
Beautiful inside out 😍💚🖤❤️🙏🏽
I sincerely wish Ibrahim the best.
As an East European man, without any colonial past, I see Africa through an objective eye. I am based in Ghana and I cannot believe what its leaders "do".
Dumb, entitled rich brat maffia families steal out everything while all of us struggle here unless not filthy rich.
Old fools who know nothing, exceptnshowing off their wealth and Cambridge degrees which do not reflect any mind, brsind, heart and talent.
Then this 35 year old, energetic, motivated man in the neighbour stood up and said enough, it is time to change and make a present for a new future.
All he has to do is to keep going, but he must be CAREFUL with Russia. Russia only uses these countries to gain influence and they look down on anyone racistly and use others. They have no vision to ally or support. They use unstable, desperate countries to destablise and bring though their agendas. China is no exception.
My home country was under Russian rule for decades, our fathers, mothers, grandparents suffered under their ideologies and cruelty whst still has its influence on us as a society. These decades left corruption, social cripledness on us.
What Burkina and Africa needs overal is to stand up, shake itself up, shake off the victimhood and begin to love and work for a better life and remove all those corrupt disgusting leaders on their tops.
I believe, Ibrahim is the first who began and I wish him much strenght, success and keep going.
It is possible to make this continent a happy and prosperous place. It has all the resources, human forces. ❤
Captured or is saving his people?
🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🇧🇴✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️🇧🇴👍🏽🇧🇴👍🏽👍🏽🤛🏿🤛🏿🤛🏿❤️❤️ freedom to Africa
