IBRAHIM TRAORÉ’S FULL-SWING CLAP BACK AT MACRON

In his powerful clapback to French President Emmanuel Macron's 6 January disparaging comments about Africans, Burkina Faso President Ibrahim Traoré left no stone unturned on 13 January.

Traore (@capitaineib226 on X) pointed out that if anyone is an ingrate, it is Macron, as leader of a country that has profited off Africans, our ancestors and our resources. If God provides, then Africans have been gods to France for decades. Need we say more?
