Mahama Meets Captain Traoré as West Africa Faces Diplomatic Crossroads
Ghana’s president meets Captain Ibrahim Traoré to discuss security, economic cooperation, and the future of regional alliances following the ECOWAS exit of Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger.
As part of his regional diplomatic tour, former President John Dramani Mahama arrived in Burkina Faso, where he was warmly received by the country’s military leader, Captain Ibrahim Traoré.
The two leaders held a private discussion focusing on regional security, economic collaboration, and diplomatic relations.
