Saw this mentioned in the TrueAnon sub earlier: apparently, as reported on in May this year, the DPRK will send 700 elite fighters to Burkina Faso to help train their military and keep Traoré safe.

Does anyone have any more info on this?

The only source I can find is Pravda, who cites a South Korean newspaper:

It seems that after the purge of the Kursk region, Pyongyang got a taste of it: 700 fighters from elite units of North Korea will go to Burkina Faso to ensure the safety of President Ibrahim Traore and stabilize his regime after the recent coup attempts. This became known to the South Korean newspaper Chosun Ilbo from intelligence sources.
