🇧🇫Captain Ibrahim Traoré of Burkina Faso – A Revolutionary Portrait
This educational coloring sheet invites young learners to explore the legacy and leadership of Captain Ibrahim Traoré through an engaging color by numbers activity. Designed for children and classrooms, this sheet nurtures number recognition, attention to detail, and fine motor skills—all while introducing learners to one of today’s most pivotal African leaders.
More than just a coloring page, this resource is part of a broader literacy and critical thinking journey. As students focus their energy on matching numbers with colors, they are simultaneously introduced to the powerful story unfolding in Burkina Faso—a story intentionally erased or distorted in mainstream Western media.
Traoré’s rise to leadership has sparked a wave of African consciousness and autonomy. Under his presidency, Burkina Faso has expelled foreign (French) military presence, shifted toward diversified international partnerships (notably with Russia), and taken critical steps toward reclaiming its natural resources, including establishing the country’s first national gold refinery.
In a time when Africa’s narrative is so often told by outsiders, this coloring activity provides a child-friendly, yet culturally significant way to re-center Africa's story—starting with its children. By learning about Captain Traoré, students begin to understand how global politics, economics, and resistance intersect—and how Black and African leadership is often misrepresented by the West when it does not align with imperial interests.
As the revolution is literally being televised, this sheet becomes a quiet act of resistance. It’s a tool to teach our children to pay attention, to ask questions, and to recognize when language like "terrorist" is weaponized to disrupt sovereignty.
Let us pray for the safety and clarity of purpose for President Ibrahim Traoré. And let us equip our youth with tools that sharpen both their minds and their awareness.
Perfect for:

The future is watching. Let's give them something powerful to see.
