infinite hopium good luck comrade traore may your path to success be open and without treachery or despair
holy shit hard to believe a state can just do that
directly improving these farmer's material conditions.
i know they are basically under siege from western backed insurgency but i can't help but think this might have the nice side effect of building a massive popular front to back the government. the kind that might form dedicated militias and stuff
They already pretty much have that going on, people outside the country have his support so it's just a matter of getting the domestic supporters equipped and organized to defend the movement.
Are those tractors or tractor parts in that photo?
God, Lenin, fucking ANYONE protect this man and ensure a swift victory for the Burkinabe armed forces against the fascists and insurgents trying to tear him down.
Wow! It's almost as if gold mining is really profitable! I sure do wonder what external factors kept Burkina Faso from doing this before??? (
)
I'm really glad Traore keeps a piece on him at all times. It might seem a little silly but knowing how Sankara got got it might actually save his life one day.
Fred Hampton slept with his. Let's hope security doesn't sell out or get caught slipping.
From the sound of it, he's already survived several assassination attempts
Impressive considering they probably have to spend a lot of their time and resources fighting off ISIS, IIRC they are making a real big comeback in the region
To the comrade asking about the Sahel confederation the other week: I was being a lib, this is based as hell
“Those who come with wheat, millet, corn or milk, they are not helping us. Those who really want to help us can give us ploughs, tractors, fertilizers, insecticides, watering cans, drills and dams. That is how we would define food aid.”
The western empire hates him! Liberate your people with one simple trick!
Nationalize western-owned extractive industry running under fraudulent, exploitative schemes -> use the funding to free low-productivity agriculture labour power through mechanisation of agriculture -> build up industry attracting international investment from China, Russia and other emergent powers, put the newly created proletariat to work in the industry -> industrialise your country -> free your people from western colonialism

Should be CW for south park instead. Fuck that trash ass show 
I hate this but it definitely at least needs a cw
Why? conically that's ectoplasm left by a spooky ghost
I don't watch South Park and would have no clue that's the case
It's definitely not the case; but it's the excuse Randy gives when people discover him in this state shortly thereafter.
Who the hell is Randy I don't watch South park
discover him in this state
It's the guy in the picture.
I've been thinking a lot lately about that throwaway line in the infamous Folger's Coffee incest commercial, where the US Army dude says he's back from "West Africa." What the fuck were US troops doing in Burkina Faso in this fictional universe?! 
Edit: On further research, I guess he was supposed to be volunteering in the Peace Corps. The presumed penchant for sister-fucking got me crossed up and made me assume US Army. False alarm!
Nothing has ever justified chemistry reads more than that commercial

God fucking dammit I love this so much. I wish all my best to Burkina Faso
I love seeing the developments of Burkina Faso
Sankara lived, Sankara lives, Sankara will always live
Yes, but at what cost?
$179 million read the headline
I was referring to the likely headline/hit piece coming from Western media like they do with China:

Always.

They can zaï even harder now. Unfortunately, with the biological state of the Sahel, they'll be pressed to.
They need to include the tuareg in these policies to improve their conditions and quell the insurgency.
Are the Tuareg excluded from Traore’s policies?
Brilliant
