Ouagadougou: The President of Faso, Captain Ibrahim Traor©, has been celebrated across the world for his pan-Africanist vision and his fight against imperialism. Messages of support for the Burkinabe head of state have surged on social media, with notable figures and communities expressing their admiration.
According to Burkina Information Agency, Ghanaian rapper Sarkodie tweeted, “God protect Ibrahim Traor©,” a post that has garnered over 4 million views and was even reposted by American rapper Meek Mill. This wave of support was not initiated by celebrities alone; African youth from various linguistic backgrounds, as well as African-Americans, have also been vocal in their endorsement of Traor©’s leadership.
Support for Captain Ibrahim Traor© extends from Burkina Faso to countries such as Ivory Coast, Cameroon, Namibia, Somalia, Kenya, Jamaica, and the United States. His efforts towards a free and independent Africa have resonated widely. Former ANC youth leader in South Africa, Julius Malema, has also urged for protection against potential threats to Traor©’s life.
The global backing for the Burkinabe President has intensified following remarks by General Michael Langley before the US Senate regarding governance in Burkina Faso, which were perceived as misleading. In response to these developments, a movement has been growing, encouraging patriots worldwide to mobilize on April 30, 2025, in support of Captain Ibrahim Traor©.
