WHY THE WEST WANTS TRAORÉ GONE

Burkina Faso’s revolutionary leader Ibrahim Traoré is galvanising African unity, a deeply troublesome development for imperialists, according to Niko House, founder of the independent media outlet MCSC Network.

Niko was speaking on the Mother of All Talk Shows (@MOATSTV on X), a podcast hosted by George Galloway, a former UK parliamentarian and broadcaster. He argues that Traoré is being targeted for his profound impact on Africans - awakening them to the need for unity in standing up to powerful Western blocs like NATO.

Galloway provides examples of revolutionary African leaders - such as Burkina Faso’s Thomas Sankara and the Democratic Republic of Congo’s Patrice Lumumba - who were eliminated with the support of imperialist forces.
