“Come to Burkina Faso!” — Captain Ibrahim Traoré’s reported response to Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has sparked a much wider debate about Sharia law, secular governance, religious freedom, and the fight against Islamist extremism in Africa.
In this episode, we examine the reported disagreement between Burkina Faso’s leader Ibrahim Traoré and Nigerian Islamic scholar Sheikh Ahmad Gumi. What exactly is at the heart of their disagreement? Should a Muslim-majority country adopt Sharia law as part of its system of governance, or should a secular constitution protect citizens of different religious beliefs equally?
We also explore the bigger security question facing Burkina Faso and the wider Sahel. Can governments defeat violent extremist groups through negotiation, or does confronting extremist ideology require a completely different strategy?
The debate goes beyond Traoré and Gumi. It raises important questions for the entire African continent: Can religious freedom coexist with secular government? Should religion determine national laws? And how should African leaders respond when extremist groups challenge the authority of the state?
Watch the full episode and join the conversation. Was Ibrahim Traoré right to take such a firm position, or does Sheikh Ahmad Gumi have a point that African leaders should consider?
He is a criminal
Maybe he was paid to do those things.
AES WE Moved Forever ❤❤❤
Africa must stand behind Traore against this nonsense.
Keep banging the drum 🥁 because there’s is no peace in anywhere Islamic exists . We reject it in Ghana 🇬🇭.

Nigeria is a failed state. It’s a haven for Islamic terrorism.
They plan to do the same throughout Africa. Africans, we should be grateful for our new hero IT.
From Saudi they are coming with a bank (Islamic Bank) to save and transfer ransom money to finance terrorism around the Africa.
