Did you know what’s happening in Burkina Faso?

Major news outlets have been largely silent about the historic changes unfolding in Burkina Faso, a country standing up to decades of foreign interference and fighting for true sovereignty.

Under the leadership of Captain Ibrahim Traoré, Burkina Faso has expelled French military forces, rejected foreign debt traps, and taken bold steps to reclaim control over its natural resources. These moves echo the spirit of past African leaders who once dreamed of a free and self-sufficient continent, leaders who were often met with international resistance.

While traditional media turns a blind eye, social media platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube have become the spaces where creators are raising awareness, sharing facts, and urging people to look deeper into what’s happening.

This post highlights why Burkina Faso matters, what mainstream outlets aren’t telling you, and why many believe a new chapter for Africa is being written outside of the headlines.

Amid this, concerns are growing over recent reports that U.S. AFRICOM General Michael Langley, who recently declared Traoré a threat, is now holding closed-door talks in neighboring Ivory Coast. Many fear that history could repeat itself, and that without public scrutiny, Africa may once again witness the quiet removal of a leader pushing for independence.

These people think empathy is the problem.
