Ibrahim Traore: A Beacon Of African Liberation
Posted on May 22, 2025

True independence requires more than just diplomatic gestures; it demands courage, self-determination and proactive efforts. Africa’s progress hinges on its ability to assert its sovereignty. Relying on external powers for support and guidance undermines Africa’s autonomy and sovereignty. Instead, Africans must empower themselves through genuine education, agriculture and innovations, as they strengthen regional cooperation and unity and develop sustainable economic systems.
Captain Ibrahim Traore, President of Burkina Faso, is leading a revolution in African leadership. His efforts to liberate Burkina Faso from Western influence and build a self-sufficient nation are inspiring. All his struggles are channeled towards breaking free from Western oppressive chains.
His initiatives include: Promoting economic sovereignty, rejecting foreign interference, strengthening regional cooperation and developing home made solutions. His government has invested in local industries, developed infrastructure and supported small scale farmers among others. It is undebatable that he is a model for Africa, which exposes the inefficiencies and the criminalities of most African leaders. It is sad to see African leaders who are puppets to Western powers plotting to depose Messiah Ibrahim Traore’s government. A government that demonstrates effective governance, people-centered policies and commitment to African unity.
History shows that freedom is often won through struggle and determination. Africans must challenge oppressive systems and structures, promote good governance and accountability and support Pan-African initiatives.
Africa’s progress depends on its ability to assert its sovereignty and determine its own future. Western policies in Africa are not drafted in favour of Africans, for no lion labours for the wellness of its cardinal preys, the antelopes. In the same vein, no recalcitrant oppressors will design a plan to liberate the victims of their oppression.
Africans have been mentally chained as they continue to depend on external powers for medicines, food, clothing, system of worshipping the believed maker of the universe among others, which compromised our sovereignty as we suffer economic manipulation and cultural homogenization. To achieve true independence, Africans must do the followings:
i) Develop indigenous solutions.
ii) Strengthen regional cooperation.
iii) Research for, or choose a reliable governance system.
iv) Invest in true education that is free from indoctrination and embrace innovations.
With leaders like Traore, Africa’s future looks promising. His commitment to progress and unity paves the way for a brighter tomorrow and enhances Africa’s global influence.
