    Most definitely. Although, how much was the deposed President also a French puppet? Don't know much about Burkina Faso post-1990s

      Roch Marc Christian Kaboré was the democratically elected president after the ousting of Compaoré, assassin of Sunkara, who was trying to gain another illegal term as president.

        Also important to note that there was a failed coup in 2015 right around when Kaboré was elected by a similar group to the successful one in 2022. Coincidentally, Burkina Faso became a hot spot for attacks from ISIS clones shortly after that 🤔
