IBRAHIM TRAORÉ AND THE OLD COLONIAL TRICK: HOW THE WEST DESTROYS LIBERATORS Throughout history, oppressors have perfected one simple method to eliminate liberators: “paint the dog black before killing it.” From Ruben Um Nyobé and Ernest Ouandié in Cameroon, to Thomas Sankara in Burkina Faso, Patrice Lumumba in Congo, Muammar Gaddafi in Libya, Saddam Hussein in Iraq, Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X in the USA, and even Nelson Mandela before the world later embraced him, the playbook never changes.

Leaders are chosen to serve the community, not personal ambitions. The focus is on the common good, unity, and accountability. 2.
