Kenyan Minister Of Foreign Affairs said Ibrahim Traore of Burkina Faso is not a good leader.
Kenya’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Musalia Mudavadi, has stirred debate after a sharp comment about Burkina Faso’s leader, Ibrahim Traoré.
Mudavadi said a true leader doesn’t need to carry a gun on his waist or display weapons on his table. According to him, leadership should be built on institutions, democracy and accountability — not force.
His remarks come at a time when military leaders in West Africa are gaining popularity, especially among young people, for their strong anti-imperialist stance and promises of security.
But Mudavadi insists that Guns don’t make leaders — vision, law and responsibility do.
Who is this one talking? It’s all about firstly not recognizing Traore is not a civilian but a soldier whose instinct to self defense is not a jocking matter! Africa learned how Thomas Sankara behaved a real soldier to the moment he got shot! Traore is a leader of a sovereign state and advice on how he carries himself should first come from the Burkinabe the people his image he represents! Good or bad is for his people and not what Kenyans think about him as this Kenyan Foreign Affairs minister whose style is now a passing phase! Minister please leave Traore alone he has a positive connection to many of the younger people across Africa! Public style has never and will never be uniform! Didn’t Gadaffi carry a gun? Envy will kill you Sir!
