MUST SEE: Louis Farrakhan’s Warning To Ibrahim Traore – Be Careful They Are Coming! | HO

In a powerful and urgent message that has resonated across Africa and the diaspora, Minister Louis Farrakhan, the influential leader of the Nation of Islam, has issued a stern warning to Ibrahim Traore, the young and rising President of Burkina Faso. Farrakhan’s message, delivered through a mix of historical reflection and passionate advocacy, is clear: be vigilant, for history shows that Western powers will stop at nothing to undermine African sovereignty and leaders who dare to assert independence.

Echoes of the Past: The Fate of Gaddafi

Farrakhan’s warning draws heavily on the fate of Libya’s former leader, Muammar Gaddafi, whose assassination in 2011, orchestrated with the support of NATO and Western governments, remains a watershed moment in African politics. Farrakhan recounts how Gaddafi’s efforts to unite Africa economically and politically—and to use Libya’s vast oil wealth for the benefit of his people—made him a target for regime change. The West, he argues, could not tolerate an independent Libya, especially one that sought to establish an African monetary system based on gold and keep its resources out of foreign hands.

Former U.S. Congressman Curt Weldon, in a now widely-circulated interview, directly admitted that the U.S. played a decisive role in Gaddafi’s downfall. According to Weldon, Gaddafi’s push for African unity and resource control was intolerable to the U.S. and Europe. “They wanted control of his oil and his sovereign wealth,” Weldon said, “so Gaddafi had to go.”

Farrakhan highlights the tactics used against Gaddafi: first, a relentless campaign to smear his reputation, painting him as a dictator who misused Libya’s resources. Then, military intervention followed, justified by claims of humanitarian concern. “They bombed Libya back to the Stone Age,” Farrakhan laments, noting that the country has never recovered from the chaos unleashed by Gaddafi’s removal.

A Familiar Playbook: The Case of Ibrahim Traore

Today, Farrakhan warns, the same playbook is being deployed against Ibrahim Traore. Since coming to power, Traore has made bold moves to reclaim Burkina Faso’s gold and mineral wealth for the benefit of his people, challenging the longstanding dominance of Western mining interests. In response, Western media and political voices have begun to question his motives, accusing him of using the country’s resources to consolidate power rather than serve the public good.

Farrakhan sees these accusations as the first step in a familiar process: “They first tarnish your name, they say you’re misusing your resources. Mind you, this is Burkina Faso’s resource, and Ibrahim Traore is the leader at the moment, so as the leader, he’s the one that is going to dictate how that gold or how that resource is going to be used. But guess what—the United States wants to pick and choose who can run Burkina Faso, who can use the resources, the same thing they did in Libya.”

The minister urges Traore and his supporters to be wary of betrayal from within, echoing biblical warnings about the dangers of treachery in perilous times. “Watch for those close around for signs of betrayal,” he cautions, “because in the last days, perilous times will come, and betrayal will be one of the marks of the end of the world.”

The Importance of a Free Press and Black Solidarity

Farrakhan also takes aim at Western media, accusing it of complicity in the erosion of democracy and the suppression of truth. “You don’t have a democracy when you don’t have a free press,” he declares, arguing that the media’s failure to challenge the official narrative enables the perpetuation of injustice both at home and abroad.

He calls on Africans and people of African descent worldwide to recognize the critical importance of unity and self-determination. “It is time we black people unite and fight our own battles,” he says. “We’ve built their countries, black people built Europe, black people built the U.S. America, and all these first-world countries have been built by black labor, by the slaves they took out of Africa.”

Farrakhan’s message is not just for Traore, but for all Africans and allies who seek to resist neo-colonial exploitation. He praises the growing wave of Pan-African solidarity, noting that leaders and citizens from Namibia to Jamaica have voiced support for Traore and Burkina Faso’s efforts to reclaim control over their resources.

Learning from Libya: A Cautionary Tale

The consequences of ignoring these warnings are plain to see, Farrakhan argues. Libya, once one of Africa’s most prosperous nations under Gaddafi, is now fractured, with rival governments, ongoing violence, and a devastated infrastructure. Hospitals and schools built with oil wealth have fallen into disrepair, and ordinary Libyans suffer the consequences of foreign intervention.

Farrakhan reminds his audience that similar stories have played out across Africa, from the assassination of Patrice Lumumba in Congo to the ongoing turmoil in the Central African Republic. “They have been doing this,” he says, “now go to a country called the Central Republic of Africa—they do not even have a government that has so many resources, and the Western countries are there looting day and night.”

A Call to Action: Stand with Traore, Stand with Africa

In closing, Farrakhan urges Africans and the diaspora to remain vigilant, united, and steadfast in the face of external threats. “We are going to stand with Ibrahim Traore, we are going to stand with patriots of Africa, we are going to stand with the people who know the importance of the mineral resources their countries have and how much the suffering of their people is pain to them.”

He thanks those who continue to support African sovereignty, calling on viewers to share the message and join the movement for a more just and independent Africa.
