Burkina Faso: Captain Ibrahim Traoré and the MPSR confront Imperialist and Neocolonialist pressure
The ongoing transition in Burkina Faso, led by President Ibrahim Traoré, is currently under heavy criticism from Western countries, particularly France and its media, as well as certain international organizations that are believed to be operating with hidden agendas.
This hostility is not insignificant, as President Ibrahim Traoré has firmly opposed the imperialist and neocolonialist policies that have long characterized the relations between Africa and the West since he came to power. His government is committed to breaking away from these practices, notably denouncing the alleged support of Western powers to the terrorist armed groups that destabilize the region.
Since Captain Ibrahim Traoré took power in Burkina Faso, his discourse and actions have been oriented towards increased sovereignty for his country and liberation from harmful external influences. President Ibrahim Traoré openly criticizes the interference of Western powers, which he claims use indirect means to maintain their grip on the resources and political decisions of African countries. He argues that these powers continue to practice a form of neocolonialism disguised as economic and military assistance.
Some Western countries are said to have indirectly financed and armed terrorist groups to sow chaos and justify an increased military presence under the guise of fighting terrorism. This strategy has allowed foreign powers to maintain influence in the region while plundering its natural resources.
Seeing that these plans are doomed to fail, Western media, particularly French, have vehemently rallied to discredit President Ibrahim Traoré, his government, and the Burkinabè army.
Western organizations claiming to defend human rights have also intensified their destabilizing maneuvers against Burkina Faso, fabricating reports of human rights violations under President Ibrahim Traoré’s regime to achieve their hidden agenda. These criticisms are mere instrumentalizations by imperialist countries to discredit and weaken governments that resist their influence. These organizations, although often driven by laudable intentions, are sometimes used as political tools to legitimize foreign interventions, as was the case in Libya.
