Military officers in Burkina Faso have overthrown the president, eight months after he took power in a coup. The new leader, Captain Ibrahim Traore, said Paul-Henri Damiba was removed because of security failures.

Whoever neglects his house inherits the wind,
and the fool will become the servant of the wise one.
Is that the Russian flag in the thumbnail?
@Dear Life they just need Russia another world power 🙄….. how independent and free of you …. How awesome to not need help or be influenced by another …… oh wait . You obviously don’t know anything about history or how the world works at all
Fools let’s see next steps
Why insulting?
@Kabore Emmanuel westerners bot here is Africa and we have right to choose Russia 🇷🇺 love from Nigeria
How can people be so ignorant to reality and backwards
@bluerocker27 it is better to no that you are in grave than to be there without knowing, Enough of British France and American
@uchenna eze Russia all the way to the grave. Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦
@Robin Page Hahaha losing team 😅 🤣 😂 😆 Nato have reject Ukraine fast track membership for you information
@Simon Nzioki perfect said
Annexation “votes” to follow?
Looks like this army is better equipped than Russia 🤣
So then What’s funny about that?
@Jason MB999 ask him they are jealous because they have realised that all Africa countries support Russia 🇷🇺
@uchenna eze you lie, african support ukrain. stop saying “we”
Russia should take notes. This is an effective military coup. Smh.
Why is this reporter always in the wrong country??
Wrong country like how?
Fear 😂😂😂
Is he an African
@Kabore Emmanuel He’s using Senegal as a background for what is happening in another country. Just because it’s in Africa. And finding a poor area instead of a well put together office in Dakar to give the news its a picture and a forever image he is trying to paint. I don’t go report in Alabama when something happen in Montana.
These people are backward
Is their any coincidence that everytime democrats come in power the world becomes chaotic ?🤔
They want another special military operation
No they want people who will not pretend to fight terrorism but will truly fight terrorism. Russia has proven itself in Syria and CAR. This is why the people want them. Sorry that you have been fed b.s about Russia
@Amos Browne we the Africa youth understand we support Russia 🇷🇺
yes give the country to Russia 🇷🇺
🇷🇺 from Tanzania 💯
You need a backer like Russia. They look out for they’re partners and are a loyal loyal people
Damiba was too close to France – and the military removed him to mske the country from Europe and the US and bring it closer to Russia and China
Hope they will be stable and prosper
For sure we the Africa have say no to France British and American
Putin is my hero!! Russian has not colonized Africa.
We don’t care
@Cosmos Take your medicine.
@86Corvus well I took my organic medicine as you directed me sir and am now watching at an angle of theta to the situation unfolding soon in Europe , I mean very soon you will be among the persons who can’t afford bills and your prepackaged GMO
Omg how violent that man is when speaking. Yes, 100% we don’t care
I thought it was great. Maybe if you were in his shoes or still had an imagination you’d understand.
The man who is on the TV is not Traore himself. And wait, there is more to come today
Well they seen the equipment provided to Mali by Russia they want the same to bring peace in their country
So! I am getting understand. now the poor people who where ever living in this Globe choose the Russians could be the rescuers, so the most of the African continent wants the Russian involvement, America loosing that continent, that’s why they stay behind the Ukraine, let the Almighty God be with the poor people. Thank you
Russia is dominating and the west are helplessly crying 🤣
Wait until the next coup
Would be orchestrated by Rus
Boundless ignorance Omar. No wonder you are failing…
Russia flags wow wow
Yes Russia is the only way out of colonial love from Nigeria
What a circus!
Still more civil than the USA on Jan 6th. Lol
@Dhaat Dhood Hardly.
@86Corvus lol. I didnt see any gallows erected… hehehe
1:00 His expression though 😀
Honestly all this coups are backed by France
Valid Burkino Faso
Poor africa. I have given up
What did you do to help?
@MrClyjade He pays taxes, thats more help than you have ever done.
@86Corvus That’s Not enough
🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺
Rugged Cpt 👍
Rugged indeed
Join Russia
Russia again?
A CONTINENT, DINOSAUR CONTINENT, COUPS ARE STILL ORDER OF THE DAY. THEN THEIR YOUTH ESCAPE TO EUROPE IN BOATS. OH AFRICA. MY FOOT.
Russia is the answer to African problems. US and the west are the real enemies of Africa.
*Burkina Faso under a military junta*
🇷🇺
“We want a win-win situation” You had me until you said, “we support Russia.” Nope. That’s unacceptable.
@uchenna eze And we Humans dont care what you say
@Landon Thomas hmmmmm
@uchenna eze In short, I support building up Africa. That’s why I find it so weird that you’re a conservative, a Trump supporter, and a fan of a colonizer like Putin.
Love from Nigeria, Russia 🇷🇺 is the only way out, let Africa go nuke putin
France? No wonder they’re losing! France is supporting the terrorists! When will these African countries get france out of their lives!
Ahaha 😂 this people are funny. Coup after coup
If I had a nickel for every time there is a coup in Africa, I could buy Ethiopia.
This is main reason why western countries are fighting Russia because kick them away from their colonial and try to make Africa stable we want to see same in Cameroon,Gabon. Niger . Chad .
The worst reporter against Africans
Why Russian flag??
Mutual Freinds
When you don’t have anyone to trust all are evils so you use evil to fight another evil so you can find your way
The western countries don’t understand Africa is done being colonized you come to Africa with respect .
I am anti colonization , so I
understand not wanting to be colonised by Western countries but why would you want to be colonized by an imperialist estate like Russia???
@Sassy . They Want Russian help
Instead of fighting for your rights and think about making your country great, you waved the russian flag 🙄 weird! It is like jumping from a lion to a crocodile!
Sorry but Russia is to busy dying in Ukraine to help. LOL
People fade out from USA 🇺🇸. They don’t support Russia 🇷🇺. But certainly they are against US Imperialism.
Burkina, y’all giving: “Please, please white man, save us” childish vibes. As a black woman, I am embarrassed.
We all need each other,we can’t fight the evil alone we don’t have the means,that’s you see other countries wants to join NATO but you can’t ask them why are they not fighting alone as a country?
Is really unfortunate that up to this point most French African countries are still asking for new imperialistic system from Russia instead of the taking their future into their hands. Both West and Russia has know good intention for you, their are just busy open more of their imperialistic ideology.
I can clearly see why another coup has happened months after a previous one. There will probably be another one in a few months. You will never see any Russians waving a flag of an African nation. As long as Africans involve outsiders in their affairs they will remain in a perpetual cycle of a sorry state of affairs.
Ruskyia Mir🇷🇺 👍🌏🌎🌍👍🇷🇺®️👍💯👍
Another French puppet bites the dust
We Africans are always dreaming days…….In the old days we wanted New times..Our problems isn’t the times, but our refusal to grow and accept responsibility for this growth…….our mindsets and not our skillsets will keep us seemingly looking everywhere with our eyes closed. Somewhat like waking up someone from deep sleep to remind them to take their sleeping pills.
Bot
Bot stupid bot
2023:
**Burkina Faso very legitimately votes to join Russia by 109%**
Who would mind 🙃
Always asking someone else to help! Is the mentality that will never let you free to grow and prosper!
From Eritrea God bless burkina faso
Bless Eritrea too.
We are fight for peace.
We are tired terrorists attacks and everyday our soldiers are dying because of jihads.
The last ruler seemed to be submissive to Western imperialists am glad they disposed him, Russia and China as mutual partners forever any attempts to revert where we were before should be met with resistance,
Russia russia
Cold war 2.0
Dumbest African regimes… they wanted independence from colonial powers, where blood was shed out of greed… innocent black people surferd in the hands of their brothers and sisters who claimed that they are helping yet today they prove to be worse than foreign powers who ruled earlier…. they can’t do without foreign powers… they prove to be of no importance in their people…… greedy… lusty is what drive them…. Our mothers… sisters… the young and old who have no interest in governments are suffering… please can you bring back you minds in the game think about lives that are lost during your rampage ..
