Burkina Faso’s Captain Ibrahim Traore has become a social media sensation across Africa and beyond, with viral videos and commentary on social media celebrating his anti-imperialist stance. But behind the online hype lies a more complex reality. From kicking out French troops to promising economic sovereignty, Traore’s message resonates with millions seeking change. Yet Burkina Faso has become more dangerous under his rule, with terrorism at record levels and half the country outside government control. Is Traore the revolutionary leader his supporters believe or are we witnessing a carefully orchestrated propaganda campaign? We dive deep into the story behind the viral phenomenon.
