      Actually, Burkina Faso was colonized by the French.

        More recently, it’s been a major target of a Russian influence campaign. Russia also has a military presence there via Wagner.

        Most problems in Africa can be traced back to either the English or the French.

          i think a large part of the problems also stem from being a deeply religious and fundamentalist majority too, though.

        Glad to see that BF also has some of the lowest life expectancy rates in the world. Deserved. :)

        Weird take considering that the new law is pushed onto the people by a military dictatorship.

    I wonder how many people want to get out and just don’t know where they can go or how to get there…
