Ibrahim Traore: 'We no Longer Want People to Interfere in Our Affairs'
10:00 31.07.2023 (Updated: 10:02 31.07.2023) Exclusive
Highlighting the maturity and independence of the African continent, Captain Ibrahim Traore put forward a powerful and passionate stance in his interview with Sputnik Africa, stressing that Africa no longer wants "people to interfere in [its] affairs" nor should they “come and impose that which is contrary to [its] cultures”.
A multipolar world is dawning and "it is precisely Africa that will have its place [there]," said Captain Ibrahim Traore in an interview with Sputnik Africa.
Shortly after the conclusion of the second
Russia-Africa Summit, the Burkinabe leader called for "giving Africa the place it deserves".
"I think we need to have a bigger place in the concert of the United Nations and also be respected in the eyes of everyone. This is why we speak of multipolarity, of sovereignty. […] As far as we are concerned, we no longer want people to interfere in our affairs," Ibrahim Traore emphasized.
The Burkinabe president then formulated "the guiding concept" for himself and his supporters:
"We are mature enough to understand, to live in good symbiosis with people, to discuss what is good for us and what is not good for us. We don't want people to interfere and we also like to work in such a way as taking charge of ourselves, that is to say, to be self-sufficient".
Mr. Traore focused on the cultural side, explaining that they also do not want "people to come and impose on us what is contrary to our cultures".
"We reject that categorically. This means that the ideologies of these people [of its African partners] converge a little with the ideologies of the Russians, who remain attached to their culture, who remain attached to sovereignty and everything. It means that we get along very well" with the Russians, he concluded.
