Why Is the West Suddenly Targeting Burkina Faso?

Alkebulanians,
I break down Sky News’ documentary on Burkina Faso’s Captain Ibrahim Traoré and examine the language, framing, and geopolitical stakes surrounding one of the Sahel’s most closely watched leaders.
ALKEBULAN Discover The True Africa is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.
I trace the documentary’s claims about jihadist control, the competing figures presented for territory under government authority, Traoré’s relationship with Russia and China, the Alliance of Sahel States, and the history invoked through Lumumba, Gaddafi, Sankara, and other African leaders. I ask what happens when media narratives collide with African sovereignty, and who gets to define the story of the continent.
