Burkina Faso: Captain Ibrahim TRAORE, A National Hero for The Burkinabe

Captain TRAORE is the pride of Africans in general and appears to the people of Burkina Faso as a saviour at a dark time in their lives, marked by terrorism, poverty, neo-colonialism and imperialism.

Today, he is the one who is responding effectively to the aspirations of the people of Burkina Faso in a number of areas. This is why they support him.

Indeed, since taking power in September 2022, the President of the transition, affectionately called «IB» by his compatriots, has never ceased to show his determination to change the course of things, with the aim of offering a life of peace and stability to his compatriots.

 On the security front alone, for example, there are many positive actions to note.

Like other Presidents, the captain has not just made fake or artificial speeches about the fight against the jihadists and the reconquest of national territory.

Nowadays, the repeated terrorist attacks that killed many civilians and soldiers in Burkina in the years 2015-2020 have diminished considerably, and people can now move around freely in certain localities.

This means that the diversification of security partnerships sought by President Traore is bearing fruit.

This is supported by his decision to train and strengthen the capacities of the defence and security forces, and also to involve Civilian Volunteers for the Defence of the Homeland (VDP) in this fight.

Not to mention his determination and courage, driven by the desire to free his compatriots from the yoke of terrorism.

At this stage in the fight against terrorism to liberate Faso, Captain TRAORE needs only the support and determination of his people to complete his mission.

It is more than necessary that he be protected against traitors from within and enemies from without, because the future of the country depends on it.
