African people feel angry after US General Michael Langley said Burkina Faso President Ibrahim Traoré misuses gold money for himself instead of his country. Many users posted harsh comments online about these claims. They think America should mind its business about how African leaders handle their resources. People across the continent question why the US stays quiet when foreign companies take African wealth, but complain when leaders control their assets.
Traoré came to power in 2022 through military action. He stands against outside influence from Western nations. This criticism shows growing frustration with how Western countries talk down to African nations. Some people compare General Langley to someone who enforces Western goals in Africa. Neither the general nor AFRICOM has answered these online attacks.
South Africa's Economic Freedom Fighters party strongly rejected the US claims. They call it an attempt to destabilize an African nation that wants control of its natural wealth. The EFF supports Traoré's efforts to use gold for his people. Burkina Faso officials released a statement calling the remarks untrue. They say these comments hurt their leadership credibility without evidence.
