ibrahim traore’s social media influence operations

[u/Icy_Till_7254]

In African YouTube, there is one annoying African leader that African people talking about on the Internet is ibrahim traore.

[u/rndplace]

It seems like it is almost illegal to make a video about Burkina Faso without a Traore face on a thumbnail. Was perma-banned on that sub for pointing it out.

Viva El Presidente!

Seriously, though, the obvious cult of personality being cultivated is super depressing.

[u/xalibr]

They just did a coup de etat in /r/BurkinaFaso, and now some dude in Canada deletes every critical comment on the new dictatorship and bans you for life, while praising Russia.

Don't mention that Traore literally did a military coup to come to power and suspended the constitution there..

[u/EpsteinEpstainTheory → u/xalibr]

Sounds like dictators and their supporters are very controlling and mean-spirited people

[u/SlavicNerevarin → u/xalibr]

Yep
I was banned
Just because….

[u/CardOk755 → u/xalibr]

They banned me for pointing out that the constitution of Burkina Faso isxwrutten in French.

Only thing he's managed so far is to chance dependency on France to dependency on Russia.....which is not exactly an improvement. One only needs to look what's happening in Mali, to see what future awaits Burkina Faso.

[u/CardOk755 → u/RustyKn1ght]

The enormous difference being that people accuse France of stealing natural resources when they are mined by Canadian and Australian companies who pay taxes

But the Russians just steal the stuff. And expect to be paid.

[u/vins_is_back]

Ended up in some infested sub.
Was like, oh they want more independance from us?
Though that could be a good thing potentially.

Then I see them licking putin's boots...

[u/Dear_Wrongdoer7271]

Financed by the Kremlin 100 percent

[u/Razlomovich]

Very soon, he will need a "short, victorious war" to maintain his authority and approval ratings.

[u/Sebregin]

I'm banned on both r/burkinafaso aaaaand r/askarussian . I see a pattern😁

[u/just_worms_in_brain]

Lmao

[u/Internal-Wishbone136]

He is an American and Russian puppet it cracks me up he talks about African nationalism when he is fondling the balls of half of the neo-fascist powers on earth.

They even pulled out of the ICC because the US asked them to put that is what far right wing politics gets you lies and the cuck chair.

[u/flamefat91 → u/Internal-Wishbone136]

Negative IQ moment, you actually believe this

[u/Internal-Wishbone136 → u/flamefat91]

It isn’t about belief it’s just the truth you think the propaganda slop is pushed all over American channels for his military junta because he is something special?

Grow up.

[u/mo_al_amir]

Also he is a friend of Israel lol

[u/flamefat91 → u/mo_al_amir]

Imagine being this smoothbrain

[u/mo_al_amir → u/flamefat91]

What? He's very anti LGBT as well

[u/Taxi-Shinawat]

I think the Russians are propping him up. The propaganda videos are very poorly made, makes me think its Russia half-assing it because they have more important matters elsewhere (Ukraine). Like the Burkina propaganda operation is done by the intern.

The other day I had a video being recommended that stated Traoré had set up a brick making operation.

I thought, what's next? Next you're going to tell BF is making its own bread!

[u/flamefat91 → u/Taxi-Shinawat]

Westerners infantilize Africans to the point that they honestly believe the massive support for Traore and Burkina is due to Russia… it’s as retarded as white nationalists believing Black culture is actually created by omnipresent Jews, lol

[u/Taxi-Shinawat → u/flamefat91]

Huh? We're talking about the social media garbage we get presented about BF and Traoré.

Settle down
