Because I can't tell whether:

we should just critically support them only for their role in inducing multipolarity and anti-imperialism, a la Russia, due to their shitty domestic politics

or

we must support them further in depth, for their inherently socialist and progressive politics, like Burkina Faso under Sankara, and modern day China.

This is not to say I won't at least give critical support to this nation.

P.S. If you can, could you answer same question about its modern allies, current Mali and Burkina Faso.

          Yeah, but he has some major influential legacy on the country. I think even the BF's leader has taken some notes from him. Here's some info on that: https://geopoliticaleconomy.com/2023/07/30/burkina-faso-ibrahim-traore-sankara-imperialism/
