South African Politician, Julius Malema has thrown his support behind Captain Ibrahim Traore in ongoing issues surrounding him and the United States.
The controversial politician, known for his outspoken habits also called on everyone to stand with the Burkina Faso leader.
According to him, Captain Ibrahim Traore stands for Unity in the African continent and that is what every other African should also stand for.

In a long aggressive speech, Julius made it clear there should be no way a country with it’s own leaders should be taking orders from any other country.
He warmed the United States to stay far away from Burkina Faso because the US cannot determine what should be done in any African country.
“America must never tell us what to do. We stand with Captain Ibrahim Traoré; we stand with Traoré because we know that Traoré stands for the unity of Africa. We are Traoré, and Traoré is all of us. We must defend China for defying the USA and telling the USA to go to hell because they don’t understand how tariffs work. Donald Trump is an enemy of himself and all of us.” ~ Julius Malema
Julius Malema’s, just like many other Africans, isn’t happy about the ongoing allegations raised by the United States against Captain Traore.
Past few days have been a dramatic one after a US general accused Captain Ibrahim Traore of keeping the country’s gold reserve for his personal gains.

This is simply because the Burkina Faso leader made a firm stand against mining activities in the country by the Western world especially France and America.
It was clear from his speech that they are finding ways to eliminate Captain Ibrahim Traore or turn his own people against him.
