The Progressive and Popular Revolution is a social and political revolution in Burkina Faso that was started by Burkinabe President Ibrahim Traoré, the current leader of the Patriotic Movement for Safeguard and Restoration, the official name of the ruling military junta of Burkina Faso. The Progressive and Popular Revolution is named after the Democratic and Popular revolution, a name given to the Revolution and social upheaval of the Sankarist era by Thomas Sankara. According to Traoré and supporters, the Progressive and Popular Revolution seeks to build a Pan-African coalition to combat what its supporters call French Neo-Colonialism and Imperialism. It places emphasis on connecting with the Sankara era of Burkina Faso. Its main ideological futures are nationalism and a state-led economy.
