Captain Traoré Becomes America’s Most Wanted Over Burkina’s Gold Deal

"It's not just about stopping Traoré, it's about stopping what he represents."

Black Culture Diary: It started with a microphone, a polished suit, and a name that many outside the Pentagon wouldn’t recognize: General Michael Langley, commander of U.S. Africa Command. But what he said wasn’t background noise — it was a targeted blow, broadcast from Washington to the heart of West Africa.

Sitting before the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee, Langley made a claim that would ignite a geopolitical storm: Captain Ibrahim Traoré is misusing Burkina Faso’s gold reserves to shield his regime.

As the African Diaspora saying goes, "I am because we are, and we are because I am."
