Liberians took to the streets of Monrovia on Wednesday in a show of solidarity with Burkina Faso’s leader, Captain Ibrahim Traoré. The peaceful demonstration was held under the banner “Africa March for Freedom.”
The march was sparked by reports of alleged assassination threats against Traoré, prompting supporters to demand protection for the Burkinabe leader and denounce external interference.
Protesters waved banners and chanted slogans highlighting African unity, sovereignty, and resistance to destabilization. Organizers described the event as a call for continental solidarity.
The demonstration reflects a growing trend of pan-African activism, as citizens across borders rally behind leaders perceived to be challenging foreign influence.
