Woda Maya travels to see President Ibrahim Traore

In 1984, President Captain Thomas Sankara shocked the world with a bold speech at the United Nations — but what happened after is rarely talked about.He walked the streets of Harlem, met with African Americans, and made a powerful discovery: the struggle of Black people in America and Africa were deeply connected. From that moment, he envisioned a global institution to unite the Black world — the Institut des Peuples Noirs.Decades later, in 2025, Burkina Faso's new revolutionary leader Ibrahim Traoré is reviving that vision — and Black America is watching. This is the secret link between Black America and Burkina Faso that history tried to erase.In this video, we explore:- Sankara’s visit to Harlem and his message to the diaspora 🇺🇸✊🏿- The founding of the Institut des Peuples Noirs (IPN) 🏛️- Ibrahim Traoré’s bold decision to bring it back in 2025 🔥- Why this moment matters for Pan-Africanism and Black unity 🌍🔔 Subscribe for more stories #ibrahimtraoré #thomassankara #burkinafaso #panafricanism #africa #america #blackamerica

In 2022, Ibrahim Traoré wasn’t a household name. He was a relatively unknown military captain in Burkina Faso—young, unassuming, disciplined. But behind that calm exterior was a deeply strategic mind, shaped by years of witnessing foreign interventions that promised peace and delivered nothing. While international troops flooded the Sahel and drone strikes turned villages into craters, the people of Burkina Faso were still dying. The nation, like much of Africa, had outsourced its security—and paid the price in blood. As the African Diaspora saying goes, "I am because we are, and we are because I am."

***This text has been fortified — formatted with a simplified expanded table of contents beginning each chapter, strengthened and updated with charts and illustrations, fitted with subject and name indexes, an expanded bibliography, revised endnotes and improved typography for a user-friendly presentation and seamless utilization. The original manuscript numbered over 500 typed pages of which 350 were used. In reviewing the full original work we found certain unused sections could be reworked and re-presented in a future work. Such areas dealing with the historical black family, courtship and parental planning were left out due to at least financial constraints give the time. Black access to the publishing industry was censored and personal computing much in its infancy or not available. – SNP (Editor)
