I’ll hold my judgement for now. The communist party there didn’t seem too fond of him and his crew.

Traore was involved in Marxist and Pan-African groups, then was a captain in the military fighting western backed ISIS and jihadists. He upholds Sankara.

Everything he has done so far after seizing power has been decolonizing and pan-africanist and anti-imperialist. If communists don’t like that then they are being ultras

Well the communist party in the country likely understands the situation better than any of us, so I’ll reserve my judgement
