In September 2022, Captain Ibrahim Traoré took power in Burkina Faso. ECOWAS, the AU, the US, the EU and the UK answered with suspension, aid freezes, AGOA removal, export-licence cuts and travel bans.
Four years on he is still in office. Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger left ECOWAS, built the Alliance of Sahel States, took a larger share of gold, launched locally financed infrastructure, and answered US visa restrictions with reciprocity.
This video walks through each measure, what it was meant to do, and why the expected collapse did not arrive.
