Last Friday, 7th November 2025, Captain Ibrahim Traoré welcomed 700 African Americans, Afro-Caribbeans and Afro-Europeans, who affirmed their commitment to live and invest in Burkina Faso. They were in Burkina Faso for a Welcome Home event sponsored by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and a Burkinabé Institute.
