While Ibrahim Traoré is rightfully celebrated and praised for his leadership throughout Burkina Faso, the African continent, and the entire world, we should not forget the long arduous struggle of the people of Burkina Faso and the Sahel who made, and who continue to make, this revolution possible. Ibrahim Traoré draws inspiration not just from Burkina Faso's revolutionary history and traditions, including the People's Democratic Revolution of Thomas Sankara, but also the immediate history of neighboring countries such as Mali, where anti-imperialist leader Assimi Goïta took power in 2021.
So much has been achieved since the coming to power of Traoré. Burkina Faso, like neighboring Mali and Niger, are among Africa's very few liberated zones. It is the responsibility of every Pan-Africanist, every anti-imperialist, every lover of humanity and progress, to defend these revolutionary processes tooth and nail. However, Burkina Faso's destiny remains ultimately tied to that of the African continent as a whole and the country will only be truly safe from imperialism when all of Africa is unified under scientific socialism. For this reason we reiterate: Today the Alliance of Sahel States (AES), Tomorrow the United States of Africa.
The homeland or death, we will succeed!
