Captain Ibrahim Traoré defies U.S. threats, vows to defend Burkina Faso’s sovereignty
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Burkina Faso’s transitional leader, Captain Ibrahim Traoré, has issued a defiant response to alleged threats from the United States, including suggestions of arrest, elimination, or potential military intervention.

In a strongly worded public address, Captain Traoré denounced foreign interference and reaffirmed his commitment to defending the sovereignty of Burkina Faso.

Speaking to a gathering of soldiers and supporters, Traoré declared, “We either agree to fight for our country or we remain slaves forever.

” His speech, laced with nationalist fervor and anti-imperialist rhetoric, called on Burkinabè citizens particularly the youth to resist manipulation and maintain focus on the country’s fight for self-determination.

Traoré criticized what he described as decades of systemic subjugation imposed by foreign powers, stating that many in his generation were born into a “complicated system” designed to keep African nations dependent. “In this situation, there are only two choices: fight or remain enslaved,” he said.

He accused certain non-governmental organizations (NGOs) of serving foreign interests under the guise of humanitarian work. Specifically, he condemned reports from unnamed Western-backed NGOs that allegedly tarnish the image of Burkina Faso’s military and governance.

 According to Traoré, such reports are intended to demoralize the armed forces and undermine the national cause.

“We must file complaints against these NGOs,” he said, blaming them for playing a role in past international interventions, particularly the NATO-led operation in Libya.

He linked the destabilization of Libya to the spread of armed groups and weapons across the Sahel, which have fueled the ongoing security crisis in the region.

Referring to the historical contributions of African soldiers in global conflicts, including World War II, Traoré reminded citizens of their legacy. “Our ancestors were taken to defend others during the Second World War. Today, we must defend our own land,” he said.

Traoré insisted that the current conflict is not just a military one, but a struggle for true independence and control over Burkina Faso’s natural resources.

“It is our gold, our minerals, and our land that they want. But it belongs to us, and we will reclaim it.”

He concluded with a call to action, urging soldiers and civilians alike to draw strength from their cultural roots, resist manipulation, and remain focused on the nation’s liberation efforts.

The speech comes amid rising tensions between Burkina Faso’s military-led government and Western powers, following accusations of human rights violations and democratic backsliding.

 However, Traoré’s address signals that the government remains unyielding in the face of external pressure.
