Burkina Faso Leader Thanks Global Supporters in Fight Against Imperialism
Ouagadougou, 30 April 2025 – Capitaine Ibrahim Traoré, the leader of Burkina Faso, has expressed heartfelt gratitude to supporters worldwide who rallied today in solidarity with his vision for a liberated and sovereign Africa. In a statement shared on social media, Traoré hailed the global demonstrations as a powerful endorsement of his country’s struggle against imperialism and neo-colonialism.
Addressing “peace-loving, freedom-loving patriots and pan-Africanists,” Traoré underscored the significance of the international support, stating that it bolsters Burkina Faso’s resolve to pursue a fairer and more equitable world. “Your active solidarity and this demonstration of sympathy strengthens our conviction that the fight we are waging is justified,” he declared.
The rallies, held across various cities on Wednesday, 30 April 2025, were organised to support Traoré’s commitment to transforming Burkina Faso and fostering a new Africa free from external domination. The leader, known for his staunch pan-Africanist stance, reiterated his unwavering determination to resist adversity. “We will never bend our backs,” he vowed, pledging to stand firm until African peoples achieve true emancipation.
Traoré’s message resonated with a defiant tone, expressing confidence in an imminent victory over “the forces of evil.” He called for continued unity, asserting that collective solidarity will lead to the defeat of imperialism and neo-colonialism, paving the way for a “free, dignified, and sovereign Africa.”
The statement comes amid Burkina Faso’s ongoing efforts to assert greater control over its resources and political destiny, following years of foreign influence. Traoré’s leadership has galvanised support among those advocating for African self-determination, while drawing criticism from some Western powers.
As the global rallies signal growing momentum for his cause, Traoré’s words serve as both a rallying cry and a reminder of the challenges ahead in the fight for African sovereignty.
