YouTube Description
as posted by the channel“They basically telegraphed to the world that ‘We are going to make this place ungovernable and unlivable for these people, unless we are going to be in charge of this place.’
France is not just complicit; France is an active player in what is happening in the Sahel.”
What was Burkina Faso’s final straw? Ibrahim Traoré’s revolutionary government cut diplomatic ties with its former colonizer on June 26, but as investigative journalist and author David Hundeyin tells BT Live, Burkina has shown immense restraint with Paris leading up to this moment. From al-Qaeda-linked terrorists being interviewed on France 24 to open declarations of destabilizing intent from the DGSC, the consequences of Europe’s “open diplomatic provocations” are coming home to roost. David parses truth from social media conspiracy theory when it comes to rumors of an Israeli diplomat in Burkina, and cuts through all the revolutionary aesthetic to explain the extreme difficulties the country faces and why now’s not the time to pick unnecessary fights with empire.
“The primary function of a revolution is not to satisfy the sensibilities of internet people. The primary purpose is to improve the material conditions of its people.”
