The Rise of Captain Ibrahim Traoré: Why Young Africans Support Him! President Of Burkina Faso.




Thousands of people gathered at the Place de la Révolution in Ouagadougou on Wednesday, April 30, to show their support for the President of the transition, Captain Ibrahim Traoré.

The demonstration came after the US commander of AFRICOM, General Michael Langley, told the US Senate Armed Services Committee in early April that the military regime in power in Burkina Faso was exploiting the country's resources, particularly its gold reserves, for its own protection rather than for the benefit of the population.

General Langley's statement to the US Senate sparked reactions in Burkina Faso and throughout the Sahel region and beyond.

The government of Burkina Faso condemned the statement by the US military command, saying it aimed to tarnish the country's image.
