Gaddafi

Burkina Faso’s young leader, Captain Ibrahim Traoré, has become the face of a new anti-imperialist wave in West Africa. Backed by Russia and China, and unafraid to challenge Western dominance, his rise echoes the revolutionary dreams of past leaders like Muammar Gaddafi and Thomas Sankara. With Burkina Faso’s gold and resource wealth at the center of global interest, many fear that Traoré may be targeted before his vision can take root. The situation raises urgent questions about African sovereignty, resource control, and whether history is doomed to repeat itself.
