The BBC and other international media outlets have intensified scrutiny of Burkina Faso’s leader, Captain Ibrahim Traoré, raising serious allegations about the country’s war against armed groups, civilian casualties and the conduct of government forces.

But is the world being shown the full picture?

In this Africa Reloaded documentary, we examine the accusations surrounding Ibrahim Traoré — and the wider story that often receives far less attention.

Burkina Faso is still fighting a brutal insurgency that began years before Traoré came to power. At the same time, his government says it is recovering territory, reopening schools, strengthening food production, expanding domestic processing of natural resources and reducing the country’s dependence on former Western partners.

We also examine Traoré’s controversial political record, the postponement of elections, restrictions on political activity, his growing popularity across parts of Africa, Burkina Faso’s break with France, its relationship with Russia, and the bigger geopolitical battle unfolding across the Sahel.

Are international media outlets simply exposing uncomfortable truths about Traoré?

Or are important parts of Burkina Faso’s story being left outside the headlines?

This video does not ask you to blindly defend or condemn Ibrahim Traoré. It asks a more important question:

Are we being told the whole story?

Watch until the end and tell us what you think.
