Ibrahaim Traoré became president of Burkina Faso, the tiny nation in the Sahel just south of the Sahara Desert in Africa, in September 2022. At 37, Traoré is the second youngest president in the world — with a strong appeal for Africa’s young population used to much older leaders. Traoré promised to leverage his nation’s rich mineral resources for the benefit of its 24 million citizens.
President Ibrahim Traoré’s Amazing Projects shows some of the mega projects Traoré has launched in just 2.5 years. How President Ibrahim Traoré Is Creating New Global Order! explains why Traoré’s “resource nationalism” is terrifying the West. Burkina Faso merged with Mali and
In September 2023, Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger created the Alliance Etats Sahel (AES) aka “Alliance Sahel or “Sahel Confederation” They are planning to merge into one state now. Travel is difficult in Africa because each African nation has its own passport. So, the AES created a passport that allows members to travel freely within the “Alliance Sahel. This greatly facilitates trade.
Togo has joined the AES. Morocco has given these land-locked countries access to its port on the Atlantic Ocean which allow them to trade with the Americas and Europe. Burkina Faso is building a high-tech railroad to the port. The AES example is inspiring African nations to unite under the African Union as one nation. Why President Ibrahim Traoré’s “Resource Nationalism” Terrifies The West shows that Africa just launched a one-Africa currency.
President Traoré is loved by youth throughout Africa and the African diaspora. How President Ibrahim Traoré Is Creating New Global Order! shows that the massive April 30 demonstrations in support of President Traoré in Africa, the Americas, and Europe were in response to yet another assassination attempt allegedly orchestrated by the West. They were also a protest against the comments by US General Michael Langley, former head of Africom, in a US Senate hearing on April 3.
Memorial Park For Thomas Sankara
President Traoré asked the famous architect Francis Kéré to design a memorial park for Thomas Sankara, the revolutionary hero of Burkina Faso in whose footsteps Traoré is following now. Traoré renamed the capital’s main thoroughfare “Boulevard Charles de Gaulle” renamed for Sankara.
For years, commemorations of President Sankara’s death on October 15, 1987 were organized by civil and political groups inspired by his revolutionary achievements and ideas. On October 15, 2023, President Traoré named Sankara a “hero of the nation” and proclaimed the day an official event and an annual national holiday.
Sankara became the President of the Republic of Upper Volta at the age of 33 and launched an unprecedented series of social, ecological, and economic reforms. On August 4, 1984, Sankara oversaw the renaming of the country as Burkina Faso (‘land of the upright people’), and wrote its national anthem. Sankara was killed in 1987 and Traoré was born in 1988. President Traoré is so inspired by Sankara’s vision and mission that many people see him as the reincarnation of Sankara!

Captain Thomas Sankara Address To The UN General Assembly | New York, 1984
On 4th October 1984, Burkina Faso’s Head of State and Chair of the National Revolutionary Council, Captain Thomas Isidore Noel Sankara, addressed the United Nations General Assembly. In his speech, Captain Sankara explained passionately the reasons that had led to his countrymen revolting against the powers that be. Sankara also expressed solidarity with all the peoples around the world, who were fighting against foreign domination and exploitation. Here is an English version of the speech.

Faces Of Africa – Sankara’s Ghost 2/17/25
27 years on and Thomas Sankara’s legacy still lives on. Sankara was a profound leader with deep love for his country, Burkina Faso. But he would not live long enough to see his vision change his country for better. He was assassinated. “Faces of Africa” takes you through Sankara’s journey and how his ideas have stuck in the minds of the young generation, now seeking to resuscitate the country’s economic and political status.

‘What a project, what a challenge!’: Africa’s leading architect gives Thomas Sankara a proper place of rest
Sankara, often referred to as “Africa’s Che Guevara”, was president of Burkina Faso from 1983 until 1987, and is credited with transforming the former French colony by waging war on corruption, championing education, health and gender equality, and building homes, roads and railways. He was assassinated at the age of 37 during a coup on 15 October 1987 by soldiers led by Sankara’s former second-in-command, Blaise Compaoré, who remained in power for 27 years.

The mausoleum in memory of Sankara and the 12 aides murdered alongside him is part of a larger project: the Thomas Sankara Memorial, conceived by Burkina Faso’s president, Ibrahim Traoré. Building the mausoleum is the first stage of the project.
We don’t want a place of death and suffering, but rather one full of vitality and life

Thomas Sankara Speaks: The Burkina Faso Revolution 1983–87

Under Sankara’s leadership, the revolutionary government of Burkina Faso in West Africa set an electrifying example. Peasants, workers, women, and youth mobilized to carry out literacy and immunization drives; to sink wells, plant trees, build dams, erect housing; to combat the oppression of women and transform exploitative relations on the land; to free themselves from the imperialist yoke and solidarize with others engaged in that fight internationally.

President Traoré: Inspired by Sankara
Striking parallels: How Traoré’s vision for Burkina Faso mirrors Sankara’s legacy
Ibrahim Traoré’s rise echoes the revolutionary legacy of Thomas Sankara, harnessing pan-African fervour to dismantle Western influence, embrace economic self-sufficiency and ignite a movement that captivates the continent’s youth.
History, as it so often does, has come full circle in Burkina Faso.
Nearly four decades after an assassin’s bullet extinguished the pan-Africanist torch held aloft by Thomas Sankara, another young military officer with a revolutionary streak has emerged from the barracks with strikingly similar ambitions as the late Burkinabè President.
Captain Ibrahim Traoré, the West African nation’s current president, oozes the spirit of defiance that made Sankara a continental icon. And like his illustrious predecessor, he is now capturing hearts across Africa while erasing the last vestiges of Western hegemony.
The parallels are unmistakable. Maybe even deliberate.

African Leaders Demand Reparations For Slavery
Breaking! African Leaders UNITE To Demand Trillions in Slavery Reparations From West! 2/20/25
Between the 15th and 19th centuries, more than 12.5 million Africans were kidnapped, chained, and sold into slavery. They were transported across the Atlantic like cargo, forced to build the economies of Europe and the Americas while their continent was drained of its people and resources.
Slavery was not just a crime against humanity; it was an economic engine that powered the rise of Western nations while leaving Africa in ruins. Portugal, Britain, France, and other European powers became global empires because of the free labour they extracted from Africa. The Industrial Revolution was fueled by raw materials harvested from plantations worked by enslaved Africans, with cotton, sugar, and tobacco generating vast wealth for Western economies.
America’s rise as an economic powerhouse was built on centuries of unpaid Black labour. The slave trade was not an accident of history; it was a calculated system of exploitation designed to enrich the West at Africa’s expense.
