Quotes
- “The role of Africa and Russia in combating Nazism has been mostly forgotten. We have come together today because we need to talk about our countries’ future. What will happen tomorrow in this new, free world which we are striving for, a world without interference in our internal affairs? We have the same prospects.”

Encyclopedic overview
Ibrahim Traoré (born 14 March 1988) is a Burkinabé military officer and politician who has held power as the interim president of Burkina Faso since the overthrow of his predecessor in a 2022 coup. Ideologically prominent for his nationalist, pan-Africanist, anti-imperialist, and anti-Western views, Traoré is the second leader of the Patriotic Movement for Safeguard and Restoration, the ruling military junta in Burkina Faso since September 2022 and the second president of the Alliance of Sahel States since 2025.
Born in Kéra, located in western Burkina Faso, Traoré graduated from the University of Ouagadougou in 2009 with a bachelor's degree in science and geology. Following his graduation from university, he joined the Burkina Faso Armed Forces and received military training abroad, reportedly in Morocco and France. Traoré gained experience fighting terrorism during the country's jihadist insurgency. In 2019, he was deployed to Mali with the United Nations peacekeeping mission (MINUSMA).
