Captain Ibrahim Traoré faces his greatest challenge yet—not on the battlefield, but in the shadowy halls of diplomacy. In Chapter 8 of The Rising Lion of the Sahel, alliances are forged, threats loom, and the soul of Burkina Faso hangs in the balance. Listen now.

Freedom won on the battlefield meant nothing if surrendered in boardrooms. In Chapter 8 of The Rising Lion of the Sahel, Captain Ibrahim Traoré faces a new, more treacherous battlefield: The world of diplomacy, hidden deals, and invisible chains.** Pressured by old colonial powers and courted by new global players, Traoré walks a knife’s edge. One wrong handshake could sell out everything the people bled for. With foreign mercenaries lurking, ambassadors whispering threats, and economic warfare tightening its grip, Traoré refuses to kneel. He seeks new alliances — not for dependence, but for strength. For a Burkina Faso that stands tall, even when the empires of the world conspire to see it crawl. This is not just a political battle. This is the struggle for the soul of a nation.
