The worst things I've heard about Ibrahim Traore:

Stopped illegal gold mining in Burkina Faso and instead started a gold reserve for the country /e I forgot to mention the nationalization of mines
Tried to get roads built by contractors, and then used the money to buy the equipment and hire people to do the work without middle men
Asked Putin for education instead of handouts

I've learned all of this through youtube shorts, but it can't be worse than the AI generated and narrated "reddit" posts
