Traore and Kim Jung Un are two of the most effective and visionary leaders today. Traore knows what he wants for his country and people and knows what he has to do to achieve his dream. He is not a idealistic dreamer or a snake oil salesman like that Professor Lumumba, all talks but no concrete plans of action. Lumumba has been talking for two decades and still talking with nothing to his credit.
Traore in 3 years has transformed Burkina Faso into a hive of economic activities and development, building schools, roads, factories, economic hubs, building a strong army to protect his people and country. Traore is a realist and a doer. He knows that without external help, without powerful friends, he would be cooked by the white colonialists within days. They are all out to kill him and his dream.
To make his dreams come true, he must be alive, and he sought powerful friends like Russia, China, North Korea and many others to provide him the arms and military support to keep his people and country safe and secure. His enemies, the white colonialists are too powerful and deadly.
So far Traore's plan is working, securing Burkina Faso, get his people educated and trained for a new economy, feed his people, house his people, give them jobs, and keep them safe and free to live with pride and dignity.
Many dreamers of the past did not live to see their dreams come true. The colonial masters would kill them quickly, often with the help of African traitors. Traore is a shining light and needs protection from his own people and powerful friends, countries that are as powerful as his enemies to keep his enemies away and to keep him safe to do what he wants to do, has to do, to build a new and truly independent country and people.
Kim Jung Un knows that the Americans and the West are planning and plotting to kill him and to bring down his country. They will come for him sooner or later. He chooses to fight now when he has a chance than to wait to fight alone and in vain.
Kim knows that Russia cannot lose the war in Ukraine, Iran cannot be destroyed by the Americans and the Israelis, and Traore too must succeed. The destruction of Russia, Iran and Burkina Faso, and China, would mean he will be next. The future and independence of North Korea and his people depends on the survival of China, Russia, Iran and countries of the Global South to stand up against the Americans and the West. He cannot stay on the sideline and pray that he will be safe. His war for survival starts now, in Ukraine, in Iran, in Africa. He decisively committed his soldiers in Ukraine, in Iran, in Burkina Faso to fight against American hegemony and the West.
No country in the Global South has this conviction and courage to fight on the side of Russia, Iran and Burkina Faso. Most countries know too that they will be swallowed up by the Americans and the West, but choose not to fight, and hoping that they could live a few days longer. Iran's survival is so important to the survival of Arab and Muslim countries. But not one dares to join Iran except for Pakistan. All chooses to hide under the bed thinking they will be safe but knowing that they would not be safe when Iran is gone.
It takes a lot of wisdom and courage to act now to join the fight. Kim Jung Un is the man that walks the talk. Traore too. Traore is the shining light in Africa and could free Africa from being the never ending shithole to the West, to be exploited and oppressed forever. Many Africans and African leaders are seeing a new Africa through Traore. As for the rest of the world, better not to be heard or not to be seen. Or to crawl to Washington to kiss Trump's ass.
Both Traore and Kim Jung Un have shown the way. Many Africans are following Traore. But not many are following Kim. Instead, some are joining the American and Israeli terrorist camp or went AWOL.
