    I’ll hold my judgement for now. The communist party there didn’t seem too fond of him and his crew.

      Traore was involved in Marxist and Pan-African groups, then was a captain in the military fighting western backed ISIS and jihadists. He upholds Sankara.

      Everything he has done so far after seizing power has been decolonizing and pan-africanist and anti-imperialist. If communists don’t like that then they are being ultras

        Well the communist party in the country likely understands the situation better than any of us, so I’ll reserve my judgement

        Edit: I was thinking of the Niger coup, my bad. I haven’t seen anything from the BF party. Can’t keep track of all the coups
