Alkebulanians,
In this midweek show:
MAIN SHOW
Captain Traore and the Sahel President’s Safety
SUMMARY
After the recent coup attempt on Captain Traore of Burkina Faso, I had a thought.
Who are his real friends?
He faces an unprecedented threat level in Burkina Faso, with unofficial reports suggesting up to 22 assassination attempts in just three years, prompting my belief the President of the Sahel needs to be more afraid of his "friends" than his enemies.
I examine the historical betrayal of leaders like Thomas Sankara and Patrice Lumumba to highlight warning signs for AES leaders Assimi Goïta and General Tiani, while establishing a community "red line" against future coups and celebrating ignored AES wins like new digital IDs.
PAY ATTENTION
