Since the coup that ousted interim President on September 30th, 2022, Burkina Faso has been under the leadership of military commander Ibrahim Traore, who, at the age of 35, is the youngest president in Africa. Traore's ascent to power represents a significant moment in Burkina Faso's political history, as the nation navigates the complexities of military rule amidst calls for stability and democratic governance. All along his time in office, Traore has kept a calm and respectable attitude, similar to how he was known before. He has taken a strategic approach to communication, carefully controlling his public image to avoid the negative perceptions that plagued his predecessors. Traore's focus on projecting the image of a resolute and decisive wartime leader reflects his determination to guide Burkina Faso through difficult times while balancing public opinion with military authority. As the youngest president in Africa, Traore's leadership style and his ability to make decisions and stick to them has created a positive effect on Burkina Faso's political path and the hopes of its people. During his tenure, pro-government propaganda has increased in Burkina Faso's traditional and social media outlets, setting him apart as a revolutionary leader similar to Thomas Sankara. Nevertheless, France has been making every effort to tarnish the image of this revolutionary leader or undermine his influence. As usual, Ibrahim Traore keeps being Ibrahim Traore and we will see how in this video.
