The African Man Leading A Revolution Against The West: Ibrahim Traore The African Revolution No One Is Talking About… There’s a quiet revolution happening in Africa right now—and it’s being led by one man: Ibrahim Traoré, the 37-year-old military captain who rose to power in Burkina Faso. From kicking out French troops to reclaiming gold mines from foreign corporations, Traoré is challenging everything the West has built in Africa over the last century. In this video, we break down: • Who is Ibrahim Traoré? • Why Burkina Faso is cutting ties with the West • The truth about France’s colonial hold on Africa • What the Alliance of Sahel States means for global power • Why Africa is rich in resources but still poor • Comparisons to Thomas Sankara and fears of history repeating • How Russia and China are stepping in where the West is being pushed out This could be the start of a new era of African independence—or the rise of another strongman. Either way, the world should be paying attention.
