Ibrahim Traore Just Shocked The World Again These Unexpected Moves

Since the 30 September 2022 coup d'état which ousted interim president Paul-Henri Sandaogo Damiba in Burkina Faso, led by the second youngest serving state leader in the world, and the youngest serving president Captain Ibrahim Traoré, he has not backed down on his plans to save his country.
Since his rise to power, Captain Ibrahim Traoré, appears to have forged a strong rapport with the Burkinabe populace. Burkinabe citizens have vested their unswerving trust in Ibrahim Traoré and his administration to efficaciously combat the jihadist menace; in February Traoré's government expelled the French forces assisting in fighting the local insurgency from Burkina Faso. He subsequently declared that "We really want to look at other horizons, because we want win-win partnerships", supporting the diversification of Burkina Faso's international partnerships. Shortly after, Traoré's government expressed support for a federation with Mali and both invited Guinea. In April, he declared a "general mobilisation" of the population to support the military, as rebel forces continued to increase the rate of their attacks. Traoré publicly pledged to reconquer all rebel-held areas and that there would be no negotiations until the insurgency had been greatly weakened. In the following month, Traoré questioned the planned restoration of democracy for 2024, stating that elections could not be held unless the insurgents were pushed back and the security situation had been improved. With all what was happening, on 26 September 2023, dissatisfied elements of the military unsuccessfully attempted to overthrow Ibrahim Traoré. The people of Burkina Faso acting in unison stood against this threat . Captain Ibrahim Traoré duly acknowledged this unwavering support, stating, “The people, in their benevolence, have entrusted us with their destiny, a responsibility we wholeheartedly embrace. Our resolve in this mission grows stronger as long as the people remain steadfast.”
