For the record, people from countries that have never had a successful modern revolution need to learn to sit down and shut up more often when those with actual revolutions in progress are going about their business.
If Burkina Faso is receiving criticism from Chinese, Vietnamese, Russian, Cuban, North Korean or Iranian sources, such criticism can be taken seriously and acted on. The source makes the critique valid because they've actually been there and done that.
But if the criticism is coming from our chronically online brethren in White-istan, their cousins in Epstein-istan, and their eternally hapless southern vassals in Arab-istan and Afristan, it has all the value of a Child Rights bill sponsored by Ghislaine Maxwell.
If you haven't figured out how to stop your own taxes from being directly used to fund the wholesale murder of Sahelian villagers, Congolese shopkeepers, Iranian schoolchildren and Palestinian olive farmers; if your own government has revealed that it is controlled by a network of rich White-istanis who eat cute little white girls with pigtails and call their meat "jerky" and you did absolutely nothing about it except make upper case tweets with lots of exclamation marks, your opinions about Ibrahim Traorรฉ, Burkina Faso, the Sahelian Alliance, or any other anti-imperial project are completely worthless and nobody needs them.
That Palestine flag on your Twitter display name has zero revolutionary value and nothing you say has any value. At best, you're a cheerleader and nothing more. So stay on the sidelines, wave your internet pom-poms and learn to shut the fuck up while the actual players on the field get things done.
Rant over.
One of the final handwritten notes by Iran's martyr Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi reads:
โThe world is a bad place, because even if you gain it all, you gain nothing.
But this is also the beauty of the world: even if you lose it all, you have lost nothing.โ
