The theatre of African betrayal is once again casting its familiar characters. And who do they send with a grin and a handshake? None other than President Ruto, a so-called African leader with a ‘blue passport’ mindset.
Ivory Coast didn’t deliver the blow they had hoped for, so now Ruto enters the scene, stage left, wearing the cloak of Pan-Africanism but with strings that lead directly to foreign embassies. How convenient.
History echoes loudly: Lumumba didn’t fall because of the West alone — it was fellow Africans who pulled the trigger.
Sankara’s dream didn’t die in Paris; it was buried by brothers in military garb singing someone else’s anthem.
As Frantz Fanon warned, ‘The future will have no pity for those men who, possessing the exceptional privilege of being able to speak the words of truth to their oppressors, have taken refuge in an attitude of passivity, of mute indifference, and sometimes of cold complicity.’
We’ve seen this script before — African leaders paraded as sovereigns but choreographed like pawns. This time, we must not be blind. Traoré stands as a symbol of resistance, a face of the African renaissance. If history must repeat itself, let it be in resistance — not betrayal.
