Coup, Chaos & Captain Traoré: Who Really Runs Burkina Faso?

Hey Family,

Today’s episode takes us deep into the heart of Burkina Faso, where a failed coup attempt has exposed a nation teetering between rebellion and reform.

Captain Ibrahim Traoré says he’s defending the people from foreign influence.
But others say he’s just another strongman using nationalism to tighten his grip.

In this extended episode, I explore:

• The details of the April 2025 coup attempt

• The accusations of foreign-backed plots

• The fierce debates from everyday people—based on real WhatsApp conversations

• And the bigger question: who decides Africa’s future?

This one is layered, emotional, and essential listening.

🎧 Press play and let me know

Is Traoré Africa’s hope… or a new face of control?

Blessings,

KK
