Burkina Faso's leader, Captain Ibrahim Traore, strongly reiects accusations from Human Rights Watch

 Burkina Faso's leader, Captain Ibrahim Traore, strongly rejects accusations from Human Rights Watch (HRW) regarding military abuses in his country, framing the fight against terrorism as part of a broader struggle against Western imperialism.


In a televised interview with Russia Today (RT), he dismisses HRW's claims of mass killings of Fulani civilians near Solenzo in western Burkina Faso, calling them part of a Western strategy to destabilize Africa. Traore speaks of what he calls the historical mistreatment of Africans, accuses Western media and rights groups of spreading false narratives, and states that his government will continue to push back against foreign interference.



He points to the downfall of Libya's Muammar Gaddafi as a cautionary example of what happens to African leaders who try to break free from Western control. His remarks reflect a growing shift away from traditional Western alliances and toward deeper ties with Russia, particularly in the context of counterterrorism and anti-imperialist alignment.
