    BF isnt ML? Also, I dont think you saw my most recent comment, the speculation was that if this newest government was helped along by the US they would kick the French out to harm their energy independence through the lack of extremely cheap uranium and would have to turn to the US (like they did to Germany by blowing up the Nordstream). There were already problems with this theory (and I think the presence of Wagner was one of them?), and I think this is further evidence that’s not a correct theory

        That’s the PM, Tambelá, comrade, not the president (who truly wields power), Traroré. Now, it’s a good sign that he’s at least not an anticommunist because he was willing to give a position in government to a ML like Tambelá, but as far as actually being a ML he hasn’t shown any other signs of that. It’s far more likely that he just generally wants the west out of the country, and he thinks that appointing a popular person in BF to (from what I can tell) a relatively weak position in government will help ensure the support of the population.

        However, this also means Traroré potentially has a dedicated ML whispering in his ear, so I’m optimistic that he could take a turn to being a true Sankarist in his own right in the near future.

          Good point, taken it on. I still have high hopes for them though, especially with a potential angola alliance.

              Not an article to read, they just would be natural allies if they turned into a ML country.

                I’m regretfully extremely uninformed about the state of socialism in Africa in the 21st century, I was under the impression Angola is led by like ML grifters who haven’t improved the plight of their workers the entire time they’ve been in power, do you have any reading on Angola as a whole then, or just socialism in Africa in the 21st century?

                    Nice pictures but sorry this doesn’t mean shit lol, you could take pictures like this in like fucking Dubai and it’s in the UAE, one of the worst countries in the world for proles and minority groups, I’d like some articles or essays (even just a yt vid would be ok for now), not saying you’re wrong but this isn’t making me any more informed.

                    If you don’t have any don’t worry, just let me know if you don’t so I can make a post on like genzedong or something to see if anyone has anything
