Renowned spiritual leader and advocate for African liberation, Maame Grace, has publicly criticize the silence of African religious and political leaders regarding the political situation in Burkina Faso.

In her recent YouTube editorial aired on Sunday titled “THE GREAT SHIFT”, she urged leaders across the continent to vocalize their support for Captain Ibrahim Traoré’s government, which she claims is under threat from European powers aiming to restore neocolonial control.

Maame Grace emphasized that the developments in Burkina Faso transcend traditional political discourse, stating, “This is not merely about democracy; it’s about a significant shift in the consciousness of all Black people globally.”
She expressed disappointment over the lack of response from influential bodies such as the Christian Council, national parliaments, and prominent figures within mosques and churches.

Highlighting the spiritual significance of the moment, she described it as an “all-important cosmic moment” poised to elevate the “melanated world” to its rightful place. She warned that continued silence from African leaders and clergy could inadvertently support foreign interventions aimed at undermining Burkina Faso’s sovereignty.

Captain Ibrahim Traoré, who assumed power in September 2022, has been a polarizing figure. While he enjoys substantial support from segments of the Burkinabé population, particularly the youth, his government has faced criticism over its handling of security challenges and alleged human rights abuses.
Despite these challenges, Maame Grace views Traoré’s leadership as a beacon of hope for African self-determination and a break from historical patterns of external domination.

Maame Grace concluded her editorial by calling on African leaders, religious institutions, and civil society to stand in solidarity with Burkina Faso, advocating for a unified front against neocolonial influences and in support of the nation’s pursuit of true independence.
