I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'see captain traore?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'maybe ruth will take your family' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'take' could be 'bur' (burring is a kind of taking) and 'bur' is located in the answer.
'family' could be 'kin' (synonyms) and 'kin' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'abe' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for burkinabe that I've seen is " African".)
