Seriously, is Traoré trying to become the reincarnation of Thomas Sankara? Cause damn that's some based shit.
I mean...Sankara was murdered in '87...Traoré was born in '88...just saying...the timeline fits.
No but all jokes aside, he's been awesome so far.
I hope that the AES can be a bastion of anti-imperialism and prosperity on the African continent, and that it eventually grows into a United African Federation.
Sankara was extremely accomplished for the relatively short time he had in power, his biggest mistake was underestimating the imperialists, which it seems Traoré has learned from.
I personally believe that the Sahel states will become a much larger player within the anti-imperialist movement then anyone expects. Within a decade I believe people in the west will be blindsided by their rise, similar to China the last two decades.
Inshallah
