#africanews #ibrahimtraoré Western Media always report how Captain Traore drove out French forces and promised to combat terrorism in Burkina Faso yet the insecurity as a result of the jihadists still persists and more people continue to be killed or displaced from their homes. In line with the dictates of the powers that be in the West, the Western Media does this to throw shade at Traore’s government and turn local and public support for his government. It's a tactic that the West has used over and over again to shut down leaders who do not fit into their plan. However, while Captain Traore has not completely cleared Burkina Faso of insecurity, the fact is he has done more in the two years he has been in power than what the French did in all their years fighting terrorism in the country. And, we know that given more time, Captain Traore would win this fight against terrorism and insecurity in not just Burkina Faso but also in the Sahel region. So, in today's video, we are going to show you some of the tactics that have been employed by the Burkinabe military and the victories that have been won. Aside from seeking defense partnerships with other countries including Russia and Rwanda as well as Mali and Niger, one of the major ways Captain Traore has shown his determination in combating insecurity In the country is by fortifying and strengthening the Burkinabe Military. In one interview, Captain Traore revealed that one of the reasons why the Burkinabe military could not achieve much in the fight against insecurity was that the military was not adequately equipped in terms of equipment and training. He also spoke about how the living conditions of the soldiers affected their morale in the fight. So, no good food, military equipment, or training, no wonder not much could be done. This is why Traore took it upon himself to outfit the military and boost the morale of the soldiers. So, one of the first things he did was to ensure that the living conditions of the soldiers were improved and it has been reported that Captain Traore sometimes went on missions with the Burkinabe soldiers to boost their morale. In terms of acquiring military equipment, Captain Traore has been quite strategic. After kicking out France who formerly dictated what military equipment the country could buy and from whom the country could buy from, Traore went on to form defense collaborations with countries whose interests aligned with him such as Russia, North Korea and China.
