Straight forward question. Been trying to gauge the man's politics and I think he leans more toward being an anti-colonial nationalist rather than an outright socialist. Still based and deserving of critical support, but maybe not the next Thomas Sankara; not that he needs to be, but it'd be cooler if he was.
If you are trying to gauge Traoré for his politics, then these three articles might help:

Comparison with Thomas Sankara -> https://weafrique.com/similarities-captain-ibrahim-traore-thomas-sankara/
Also, a brief reminder that “Democracy is not where you begin—it’s what comes after revolution.” as mentioned by Traoré
Thank you very much!
