From Geologist to President: How Ibrahim Traoré is Reclaiming Burkina Faso

Описание: September 30, 2022. A 34-year-old Captain in dusty military fatigues emerges from the shadows to become the youngest Head of State in the world. But Ibrahim Traoré is not your typical leader. Before the uniform, he was a Geologist—a man trained to see the hidden wealth beneath the soil.

In this first episode of The Upright Men, we explore the incredible journey of Ibrahim Traoré: from his humble beginnings in the small town of Bondokuy to the Presidential office in Ouagadougou.

What you will discover in this documentary:

The Scientist’s Mind: How his background in Geology shapes his vision for a self-reliant nation.

The Soldier’s Sacrifice: Why he chose the frontlines over a lucrative corporate career.

The Servant Leader: The truth behind his decision to refuse a presidential salary and live on a Captain's pay.

The New Revolution: How he is breaking the chains of dependency through food sovereignty and gold reclamation.

This is more than a biography; it is a story about a generation reclaiming its narrative and standing tall in a world that expects them to kneel.

"Dignity is not given. It is built. And it starts with the soil."
