Yes, Burkina Faso is coming along at a good clip. And the West doesn't like being told "No", especially wrt gold. Traoré has a price on his head, and I hope he can stay safe. I also hope to see more African states join the alliance.
The biggest threat beyond an intl conspiracy to onetap him is the ISIS insurgency that spans half the country. These projects will give the Burkinabe people the political and economic will to resist Daesh, though.
I wonder who has historically funded Islam extremists? 🧐
