      Actually, Burkina Faso was colonized by the French.

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

        Most problems in Africa can be traced back to either the English or the French.

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