Coup, Chaos & Captain Traoré: Who Really Runs Burkina Faso?
· 7:43
Episode Coup, Chaos & Captain Traoré: Who Really Runs Burkina Faso?
In April 2025, Burkina Faso's government announced it had stopped a major coup attempt. But behind the headlines lies a deeper question—who is Captain Ibrahim Traoré really fighting for?
In this extended episode, King Kurus dives into the details of the alleged plot, the mounting accusations, and the sharp divide in public opinion. Is Traoré a revolutionary refusing to bow to foreign powers? Or a military strongman using fear to stay in control?
Drawing from powerful online debates, this episode explores:
• What really happened in the attempted coup • Why the country is so divided over Traoré’s leadership • The dangers of disinformation, debt, and dependency • And the growing call for integrity in African leadership
This isn’t just history—it’s happening right now.
Listen, reflect, and join the debate.
