Burkina Faso’s Ibrahim Traoré: “Democracy is not where you begin—it’s what comes after revolution.”

To develop, a nation must break the chains of dependency—economic, cultural, military.

“Cite one country that developed in democracy—it’s impossible.”

Because development requires rupture. Sovereignty demands confrontation—with traitors, with empires, with illusion.

Liberalism offers neither rupture nor sovereignty. Only votes without power, form without content.

It never built nations—it classified them: “mature,” “developing,” "democratic," “autocratic,” depending on their obedience.

The liberal mind mistakes sovereignty for process. But sovereignty is not procedural—it is productive.

It begins when a nation stops asking permission—and starts to build.
