The current interim president and head of state is Captain Ibrahim Traoré, who assumed power on September 30, 2022, following a coup d'état that ousted former interim leader Paul-Henri Sandaogo Damiba. Burkina Faso has been in the news a lot since then. Burkina Faso was formerly known as the Republic of Upper Volta. The name was officially changed on August 4, 1984, by then-President Thomas Sankara to distance the country from its colonial history. The name "Burkina Faso" translates to "the land of upright people" (or "land of honest/incorruptible people").
While the MSM may throw shade on him, the current B-F leader (the youngest president in the world) is doing much to oust foreign (mostly decades-old French) influence and grift and to enhance B-F sovereignty amidst (globalist-fueled) money-grubbing, resource-stealing and power-grabbing turmoil in neighboring countries (like the Democratic Republic of the Congo) that also "has eyes on" B-F. Alledgedly, the B-F people love him and turn out in droves whenever he shows up.
Burkina Faso is a dangerous place for US and Canada citizens. Do not go there.
Ok.
