America should focus on making America great again… What on earth is their business with Capt. Ibrahim Traore?🤔

I’m genuinely puzzled as to why Burkina Faso has become a discussion point at a U.S. Senate Commission. And even more concerning—how General Langley could go so far as to label Captain Ibrahim Traoré a threat to his people because, allegedly, he’s using the country’s mining resources for “personal protection.”


Wait—are we talking about the same Captain Traoré who:
✅ Declared free education from nursery to university for all Burkinabè
✅ Is actively investing in agriculture and economic recovery
✅ Is reclaiming territorial control from terrorist groups and working to secure his country's borders


Burkinabè citizens have shielded their president from over 19 assassination attempts. That doesn't sound like a population in distress—it sounds like a people standing with their leader.


So, here’s my question: Why does Africa’s business suddenly matter to Western powers... when they’ve shown minimal interest in the continent’s stability unless resources or control are involved?


Historically, Africa has minded its own business. I’m beginning to think that has been our greatest crime as people living on earth. We don’t invade. We don’t interfere. We don’t convene commissions to micromanage foreign nations. Africans have mostly just wanted to thrive on their land, raise their families, tend their farms, drink their beer and live in peace.


If Africa is now building defenses and manufacturing or buying weapons, it’s not out of aggression—it’s out of necessity. Burkina Faso is simply trying to survive. Like any sovereign nation, it deserves the right to protect its people and its resources.


And let me be crystal clear:
We do not need another "Libya" situation.
Remember how “help” looked in 2011? Libya was promised freedom. Instead, they got chaos, instability, and a broken state. That should never be repeated.


Dear America, please:
🛑 Stop weaponizing concern.
🛑 Stop interfering where you’re not invited.
🛑 Focus on your borders, your people, your economy, your “Great again”.
Burkina Faso’s people are not asking for rescue. If they ever do, it’s safe to say Western intervention isn’t the first place they’ll turn to. And rightfully so.

By the way, If anyone in the comments can name one U.S. intervention in Africa that led to sustainable peace or prosperity—please, do share. I’m listening.
