  1. Africa has been under so much oppression to were many people from Africa do not even know the original name of Africa which is ALKEBULAN meaning THE GARDEN OF EDEN THE MOTHER OF ALL MANKIND ITS RESTORATION TIME THE MOTHER LAND WHICH WAS GODS 1ST PEACE OF LAND STOP SEEING THINGS IN THE HUMAN WAY SEE IT HOW GOD DOES HE LOVED THE LAND AND THE PROMISE WAS TO ABRAHAM ISSAC AND JACOB THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO UNTIL COLONIALISM WHICH CHANGED THE COURSE OVER TIME THIS IS BIBLICAL AND RESTORATION BEGINS WITH WEST AFRICA(ALKEBULAN) And yes he’s using Ibrahim as His servant of peace and protection and the ALMIGHTY HAS HIS HAND ON HIM AND NO ONE CAN TOUCH GODS PLAN OF RESTORATION ITS A PROMISE THAT BIBLICAL Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is Africa’s lineage that’s who and what Africa is

  2. Russia may have a bad name, especially what’s going on in Ukraine and Russia’s ideology but one thing Russia did do and proved the motherland Africa and get ready for this Jesus was black. That’s what Russia has proven about. African history in Russia wants restoration. Go figure.

  3. A Western tactic let loose an African origin reporter against Africa. Why? It isn't going their way. They do the same with India. Fund some leftists ecosystem and NGOs. Create riots and problems when things don't go their way. Now they will take out freedom index, human rights report etc etc 😂. Hang on Africa, we need to focus on growth. Grow your economy, take control of your resources and maintain your strategic Autonomy. 21st century is the end of Western dominated world order. 400 years of expansionism, exploitation and extermination of people by the West will end.

  4. That's right, Ibrahim Traore is the fruit of his labor!!! No one makes Ibrahim Traora but "The Most I Am Yahweh" As this Great Physical Form as "The Most High I Am Yahweh'!!! LONG LIVE IBRAHIM TRAORE, KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK & THE WORLD IS BEHIND IBRAHIM TRAORE!!!

  5. I agree the are some AI generated content but not all of what you (BBC Africa) claim is accurate . Wode Maya traveled to Burkina Faso and confirmed many of the projects that you are disputing. I’m sure that you have heard of Wode Maya.

  6. I don't trust a European broadcasting company to tell the truth about this man when Europe needs African countries to stay poor for Europe to survive. This video is actually the real AI propaganda.

  7. The real question is why should an AI generated video be what a news channel would be reporting, so many effort to really bring him down. Why are they not doing the same for the west presidents. African needs his own voice, it own people, do it own thing, have it own freedom.

  8. My question to is do you benefit from this video?

    If you get financial gain from this video you should donate it to charity.. you're speaking about other people monitorizare the captain aren't you doing the same thing? So if you get more viewing from using the captain's name you should give it away as charity to someone else… mainstream Media use propaganda so what's the difference if social media use propaganda to publicise the captain.. the statement goes all is fair in war… so please get off your high horse and leave the captain alone.. we like what we see we know he doesn't speak fluent English I think so AI comes in very handy.. AI is the new tool if we don't use it we are fools… please back off our Captain we love him! AI or no AI.. Thank you.. One love❤❤ long live the AES block and leaders…

  9. This is happening beacause established International news media has blocked the news of Ibrahim Traore. And this is not fair reporting.

    It is the duty of the news media to give factual news of people and events which common man demands. And if established news channels spread fake narratives and start choosing and blocking news of people based on their selfish agendas or ulterior motives then it is but natural that fake news starts circulating.

    Established International news media is responsible. Stop blaming others. Do your duties properly.
