Whats /leftypol/ take on President of Burkina Faso Ibrahim Traoré?
Is he a credible anti-imperialist actor?
>>2401945Getting killed by another
** isn't getting "gaddafie'd"
>>2401873lol more than half of that shit isnt even coming from the burkinabe government its just random african instagram accounts posting shit
>>2401787far superior to the french neocolonial government that came before. its nice theyre finally officially honoring sankara but thats just my sentimentality. besides that it is very hard to reliably get accurate news out of burkina faso without reading french and i cant read french
>>2402059Mumbai click farmers found engagement by presenting Traore as like Mr. Beast if he was a paratrooper who seized power in a coup, and there's a lot of stuff about how he's going to make Afro Money, but I don't know if he actually said that. People just post a picture of him and things they claim he said. Some account will say he turned down IMF loans, however:

Not knocking tomato processing factories, but the reason why those accounts are getting such engagement on it is an interesting question. I tend to think it results from some feeling of enervation. A lot of people are dealing with inflation.
