Rastas backing African leader

Some members of the Rastafarian community have pledged their support for President Ibrahim Traoré of Burkina Faso.

In a show of solidarity, a crowd of protesters lined up outside of the United States Embassy in Wildey, St Michael, to speak out against potential American interference within the African nation.

Traoré took control of Burkina Faso in September 2022, ousting interim President Paul-Henri Sandaogo Damiba in a coup d’état, subsequently becoming the world’s youngest head of state, at the age of 37.
