The rasta community has embraced the young African leader of the French OWNED country of Burkina Faso, as an icon of strength and unity, with the belief that he will bring the country out of poverty and create prosperity for the people. That's all good hope, but is it all just delusional thinking?
If the money of a country is printed by a European land, that country is not at all free and will NEVER EVER rise beyond a FIXED plateau, simply because there is no means of natural resource which the people can own, eg: mineral mining, all owned by France. There is absolutely nothing Traore can do but follow the long standing RULES imposed on the natives, by white men for over 100 years. The frenchies are never letting that source of pocket money go to another white land, and most certainly no intentions of letting black folks have what's originally their own.
Ibrahim's only plan is to align with the sector known as "the axis" (of evil that is), and gain support to fight western greed, but that's simply jumping from the fire pan into the fire. He's met with Vlad of Russia whose only desire is global positioning for world dominance, and will just use Traore as yet another African puppet and keep in in dictator control for another 40 years. To rule with iron fist and kill and imprison any dissidents, keep the masses poor while living in wealth. The hype is all just for sensation.
