          That is QUITE the statement… “most problems”? How so???

          Also crazy to just pin it on the French and English. Do you know what the Belgians, Dutch, Portuguese, and Spanish did? Like damn, you’re just saying shit. Sounds like someone who really shouldn’t be weighing in on historical debates….

          i think a large part of the problems also stem from being a deeply religious and fundamentalist majority too, though.

      Nah, this was burkina faso’s own stupidity. Can’t blame everything on the white man. A lot can be traced back to the brits, but this has nothing to do with them.

      Glad to see that BF also has some of the lowest life expectancy rates in the world. Deserved. :)

        More recently, it’s been a major target of a Russian influence campaign. Russia also has a military presence there via Wagner.
