Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Former Ghanaian media figure and activist Blakofe has joined a rising tide of Pan-African backing for Burkina Faso’s chief, Captain Ibrahim Traoré.
Currently residing in the United States, Blakofe participated alongside fellow members of the African diaspora in a street demonstration to show support for Traoré and what she termed the emergence of “genuine African leadership.”
While speaking fervently at the rally, Blakofe stated: “We study the history texts that show they murdered African leaders. We will no longer produce such books.
“We won’t read such books anymore. The next set of books to read will be about how we conquered—how we conquered the Europeans.”
Blakofe highlighted the necessity of dismissing puppet governments and supporting genuine African leadership:
“We don’t have time for puppets and sellouts and coconuts. We’re here for real African leaders. So I stand firmly with Ibrahim Traoré, and that’s why I’m here.”
The activist also stressed the spiritual dimension of Africa’s liberation, urging Africans to return to their traditional beliefs:
“Turn to your shrines, turn to your African gods. It works. We have to use our African beliefs to fight these people. This is a spiritual battle.”
She encouraged the continued use of social media in amplifying the movement, saying: “This revolution will be televised. When they killed Sankara, there was no social media. But we have it now—and we will keep going.”
