Congrats Ibrahim! Looking forward to hearing about your success and growth in Burkina Faso. Respect

[mthulisimotsa]

Present day world leader that has the closest likeness to South Africa's Shaka Zulu.

A trained individual who does not fear being in the front lines, unlike big bellied presidents who hide in bunkers on comfortable couches eating lobster while their country falls apart.

I can respect that.

[helloturtle]

A CAPTAIN seized power, that's gotta be one of the lowest ranks of someone to seize power.

His Excellency: President Ibrahim Traore of Burkina Faso

Your leadership philosophy upholds that of our Past Africa Heroes. You are not just only representing the great people of Burkina Faso but also a lead for the people with freedom-driven charisma.

You earn my love and respect for refuting the perpetual hegemony of the West. This is ours and must be celebrated.

Longlive Pan African✊

Ecowas and African union troops should unite to protect people and their lands, rather than colonial powers

From Artillery Officer with military operations background into a Head of State

They may hate France but they took examples from Napoleon

We love him for life. The best African president ever

An ANGEL is always invisible to his enemies
They will always fail whilst he rise

He is probably the only one who can read.

[widaa]
