In a powerful declaration resonating across Africa, Senegalese activist Guy Marius Sagna has voiced unwavering support for Burkina Faso’s President Ibrahim Traoré amid a backdrop of escalating turmoil in the region. In a passionate address, Sagna denounced the ongoing conflicts in Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger, attributing the chaos to imperialist manipulation and the exploitation of local populations by foreign interests.

Sagna’s letter, a clarion call for solidarity among African nations, emphasizes the need for self-determination against neo-colonial oppression. “Do not touch President Ibrahim Traoré,” he urged, aligning himself with the voices of the African diaspora who seek liberation from the shackles of imperialism. He condemned the hypocrisy of Western narratives that criticize military coups while turning a blind eye to the historical support of coups that serve imperial interests.

As Burkina Faso grapples with a surge in terrorism and instability, Sagna’s remarks spotlight the desperation felt by many who see military intervention as a last resort for achieving true independence and sovereignty. He drew parallels with historical figures like Thomas Sankara, advocating for a new phase of anti-colonial liberation across the Sahel.

Sagna’s impassioned plea underscores a growing sentiment in the region: a rejection of foreign interference and a call for unity among African peoples. “The imperialists have created these terrorists,” he asserted, urging citizens to take control of their destinies. With tensions rising and the stakes higher than ever, Sagna’s message is a rallying cry for those yearning for change amidst the chaos.

As events unfold, the world watches closely: will the voices of the people rise to challenge the forces of oppression, or will they succumb to the weight of imperialist agendas? The urgency of this moment cannot be overstated.
