"No country has developed under democracy" — Says Burkina Faso President, Captain Ibrahim Traoré.

🗣️ To me, regardless of how Democracy has been painted by the West (Europe & America), as the best or near-best form of government, I have always had my reservation when it comes to its impact in Africa. Truth be told, It's clearly not working here. It's more of a 'Safe haven' or 'Shield' for bad leaders.

37 year old Burkina Faso military president, Captain Ibrahim Traoré, has dismissed the notion that democracy is a prerequisite to development. According to him: “If we have to say it loud and clear here, we are not in a democracy, we are in a popular, progressive revolution. “We must necessarily go through a revolution, and we are indeed in a revolution. So this question of democracy or libertinism of action or expression has no place. As much as you think you are free to speak and act, the other is also free to speak and act, and there we end up with a society of disorder.”“It is impossible to name a country that has developed in democracy. Democracy is only the result,” Traoré said.
