In an interview recorded on August 31st, Ibrahim Trawori, the military hunter of Burkina Faisal, said, we are not enemies with the French people. It is the policy of those who run France that poses a problem in Africa, so as long as a state is not in an imperialist spirit, there is no problem. We must agree to look at each other as equals, and we must agree to review all of our cooperation. Without naming it, he chastised France for having granted independence and placed people at the helm of certain states. According to him, we have led people to sign a lot of agreements that prevent us from developing, and the imperialist states are not just France, there are others. He then added that Burkina Faisal has since been seeking new cooperation with people who would support the country in terms of equipment and other things. When Trawori came into power in October 2022, he has distanced Burkina Faisal from her former coloniser and gotten closer to several non-Western allies, including Russia, Turkey, and Iran. On the evening of September 5th, 2023, Captain Ibrahim Trawori welcomed a mod bin Abdulaziz Keton, an advisor to the Royal Court of Saudi Arabia, who carried a special message from the Saudi King to the Burkina Behead of State. While conveying the greeting sent by the Saudi King, Keton highlighted the robust relations maintained by both countries and extended an invitation to Trawori to participate in two forthcoming summits in Saudi Arabia, scheduled for November 10th and 11th. These summits encompass the Afro-Saudi Summit and the Arab-African Summit. Olivia Ruemba, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Regional Cooperation and Burkina Faisal abroad, said that multiple agreements will be in to during these meetings and Saudi Arabia's financial support for critical projects in Burkina Faisal will be unlocked. The conversations also focused on the projects that Burkina Faisal intends to offer for Saudi financing, emphasizing the Saudi Kingdom's support for critical infrastructure development that will benefit the Burkina Be people. One of the reasons for Saudi Arabia's visit to Burkina Faisal was to seek Burkina Faisal support in its bid to host World Expo 2030. President Chaware responded by expressing his support for Saudi Arabia's ambition to host the 2030 World Expo. For Saudi Arabia to seek the support of President Trawori, it means that indeed Chaware has proven himself as an outstanding leader who is worthy to be reckoned with. This must be the reason why one of the most powerful economic groups in the world, Bricks, awarded Chaware the prestigious Bricks Medal. The Medal, awarded by the International Alliance of Strategic Projects, Bricks, recognizes Captain Chaware's unwavering fight for the sovereignty of his country and serves as a tribute to his exceptional determination and courage in defending Burkina Faisal's autonomy. During the ceremony led by President Larissa Zelensova with an audience of Bricks delegates, discussions were held concerning Bricks collaboration and support in Burkina Faisal. Zelensova emphasized the establishment of the Bricks Alliance's representation in Burkina Faisal with a focus on critical areas to be chosen in consultation with the transition president. Zelensova further emphasized that the Bricks countries and Burkina Faisals planned areas of collaboration include economic, humanitarian, and cultural growth. This collaboration intends to promote mutual growth and advancement through strengthening economic links, boosting humanitarian initiatives, and encouraging cultural interchange between Burkina Faisal and the Bricks countries. This is definitely a big win for Chaware. Another country that Ibrahim Chaware has sought partnerships with his China. On June 29, 2023, Lu Yushi, special representative of the Chinese government on African affairs, met with Chaware in Wagadugu to exchange views on bilateral ties and matters of common interest and concern. Lu Shon, the Chinese ambassador to Burkina Faisal, was also present. Lu Yushi stated that since the reopening of diplomatic relations, the two countries have strongly backed each other on issues relating to their respective core interests, and practical cooperation has produced positive results. He further stated that China supports the people of Burkina Faisal in pursuing a development path tailored to its own national circumstances, as well as in ensuring national security and stability and attaining economic and social progress. In addition, Lu Yushi said that China is willing to work with Burkina Faisal to continuously strengthen political mutual confidence and deepen mutually beneficial cooperation. In response, President Ibrahim Chaware stated that Burkina Faisal regards China as a prior and important cooperative partner, adheres to the one China principle, and expresses heartfelt gratitude to China for actively assisting Burkina Faisal in dealing with security crises and promoting economic and social development. He also added that Burkina Faisal is either to expand bilateral relations in order to benefit both countries and people. Ibrahim Chaware, like Rockmark, Christian Cabaret and Lutin and Canal Polonri Sanduogo Demibber, before him, has also made Turkey one of his primary military partners, supplying him with Berakta TB2 armed drones and armored vehicles to protect against improvised explosive devices. In a national television interview, Captain Chaware cited Turkey as an image ally, assuring that his country will cooperate with those who want to help in the war on terrorism that has plagued Burkina Faisal since 2015. After Erdogan Revep, President of Turkey, was elected in May 2023, Chaware took to his Twitter account to convey his congratulations and also reaffirmed his commitment to strengthening friendship and collaboration between Burkina Faisal and the Republic of Turkey. Erdogan's reelection provides an opportunity to strengthen bilateral relations and explore opportunities for partnership in a variety of industries. Chaware also stated his willingness to collaborate with Erdogan to improve mutual understanding and cooperation for the sake of both countries. Aside from Russia, Turkey, China and Iran, Captain Chaware has also sought to deepen its ties with revolutionary movements in Latin America. In May 2023, Apilinejo Akim Kalim de Tembola, the Prime Minister of Burkina Faisal, traveled to Venezuela to meet with the President of Venezuela on behalf of Chaware. Tembola met with Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, who promised to advance in cooperation, solidarity and growth, building a solid fraternal relationship. In July, the Burkina B Prime Minister also visited Nicaragua to commemorate the 44th anniversary of the Sandinister Revolution. Tembola attended Nicaragua President Daniel Otega's July 19th Revolution commemoration in Managua. Tembola emphasized the historical heritage of solidarity between the revolutions in Burkina Faisal and Nicaragua in his speech on the anniversary of the Sandinister Revolution. He recalled revolutionary leader Thomas Sankara visiting Nicaragua in 1986 and Sandinister leader Daniel Otega visiting Burkina Faisal in the same year. Tembola went on to say that Burkina Faisal backed Nicaragua in its international court of justice challenge against the US. Washington was found guilty of unlawfully funding far-right, country debt squads that launched a terror campaign against Nicaragua's Marxist government, as well as planting mines in the country's ports. So, from this, it can be concluded that Captain Tauri is hard at work trying to build diplomatic relationships with other nations that would benefit Burkina Faisal in the coming years.
