Based. If libs pay attention: this is how decolonisation looks.
Liberals love decolonization as long as it never leaves a sociology class.
Commenting here before Ibrahim Traore gets assassinated.
French fash frothing for financial firmness fucks French finances.
I was gonna say going on the gold standard is an odd move with predictable downsides, but when the alternative is pegging your currency to the US dollar or the Euro, it makes a lot of sense.
Having a gold reserve means you're not exposed to a fluctuating foreign exchange rate or SWIFT sanctions cutting off your ability to borrow.
Niger can get away with it most of all because they have so much to mine. An expansionary gold supply solves the problem of growing your currency at the pace of your economy.
So it's not as bad idea on its face as it is in theory.
This is Burkina Faso
Guh. Got this crossed with the other coup leader.
You aren’t totally wrong though, Traoré is the de facto leader of the entire Alliance of Sahel States (ASS) in addition to being the leader of Burkina Faso.
Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso form ASS, an impromptu anti-colonial alliance formed to oppose ECOWAS, France, Nigeria and ISIS/Western backed jihadists. They are aligned with Russia.
Alliance of Sahel States (ASS)
Imma need them to team up with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) 🥵🥵🥵
I kinda read your comment as saying, if Niger can do it, Burkina Faso should at least try.
Niger
oooooh wrong country
He cute too. Ladies, get yourself a man who can cook AND fix your currency to the gold standard!

THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN 
The money printing merchants won't like that.
All the unrest around the world recently has me feeling like let's swarm Area 51, they can't stop us all at once
How long can the CIA play whack-a-mole
Lib Media: Authoritarianism is on the rise in Burkina Faso
Edit: lmao I knew it
'bout to win the gold medal in it, some might say.
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
Ultras can exist in every country, there’s nothing about being close in proximity makes one automatically correct. Imperialism is the primary contradiction and sometimes if you are too close to some domestic issue you can’t see that
Let's fucking goooo!!!!!
this man is easily my top five for favorite government leaders
