The military leader of Burkina Faso, Captain Ibrahim Traore, has thanked people around the world who showed support for the country’s struggle against imperialism and neo-colonialism.
Traore wrote on his X handle ( formerly Twitter): “I would like to express my gratitude to all the peace-loving, freedom-loving patriots and pan-Africanists who rallied around the world on Wednesday, April 30, 2025, to support our commitment and our vision for a new Burkina Faso and a new Africa, free from imperialism and neo-colonialism.”
He explained that the support shown has given strength to their belief in their cause.
“Your active solidarity and this demonstration of sympathy strengthens our conviction that the fight we are waging for a fairer and more equitable world is justified,” Traore said.

He ended with a strong message of hope and unity.
Traore said, “Together, in solidarity, we will defeat imperialism and neo-colonialism for a free, dignified and sovereign Africa.”
