LET'S TALK ABOUT IBRAHIM TRAORÉ

In Episode 4 of her 'Let's Talk About' series, African Stream's @sannario_ presents the case for why Africans worldwide are rallying behind Burkina Faso's revolutionary leader Ibrahim Traoré (@CapitaineIb226 on X). This moment, greater that one man, echoes the legacy of iconic revolutionary figures such as Thomas Sankara (1949-87), Kwame Nkrumah (1909-72), Malcolm X (1925-65) and Marcus Garvey (1887-1940), whose struggles and visions, once confined to the history books, continue to inspire and resonate deeply with pan-Africans worldwide.

Unlike past generations who fought primarily for survival against the brutalities of colonialism, this new wave is actively living through a revolution aimed at breaking neocolonial shackles and reclaiming African sovereignty from Western hands, which have long exploited not just the continent, but people of African descent across the world.
