Is Ibrahim Traoré a Socialist or Just a Left-wing Nationalist? (europe.pub)

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.

To be honest, I think a better question is, are his allies of AES, Niger and Mali, those types? (just national liberation-types or also socialist types)

And are they getting taking notes at least from Ibrahim Traore and Thomas Sankara?
