Excerpt from the address by the Pres. of Burkina Faso Capt. Ibrahim Traoré to the active forces of the nation, Ouagadougou, July 11, 2024. It has been a LONG time since my sense of the collective unconscious was crushed and GROUND TO ABSOLUTE DUST like this. Every frog, spread this, far and wide!

🫡 THE GREAT AWAKENING 🔆
If I may rebut the good captn traore...
I've been to Burkina. It's a land locked shit hole in the middle of West Africa which is a shit hole region. The people have average IQ of about 70. The average life expectancy is about 35. The cities are garbage heaps. Any minimalist and poorly maintained infrastructure is built by foreign aid. Primary religions are Islam and animist. Politics are tribal. The land is scarcely arable.Outside the cities people still mostly live in mud buildings.
Their problems are legion. Burkinabe pols can only blame the elusive "other". Got to stoke that victim mentality to maintain power.
