Based. If libs pay attention: this is how decolonisation looks.

[-] VILenin@hexbear.net 113 points 8 months ago

Liberals love decolonization as long as it never leaves a sociology class.

I was gonna say going on the gold standard is an odd move with predictable downsides, but when the alternative is pegging your currency to the US dollar or the Euro, it makes a lot of sense.

[-] zifnab25@hexbear.net 54 points 8 months ago

Having a gold reserve means you're not exposed to a fluctuating foreign exchange rate or SWIFT sanctions cutting off your ability to borrow.

Niger can get away with it most of all because they have so much to mine. An expansionary gold supply solves the problem of growing your currency at the pace of your economy.

So it's not as bad idea on its face as it is in theory.

This is Burkina Faso

[-] zifnab25@hexbear.net 9 points 8 months ago

Guh. Got this crossed with the other coup leader.

[-] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 24 points 8 months ago

You aren’t totally wrong though, Traoré is the de facto leader of the entire Alliance of Sahel States (ASS) in addition to being the leader of Burkina Faso.

Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso form ASS, an impromptu anti-colonial alliance formed to oppose ECOWAS, France, Nigeria and ISIS/Western backed jihadists. They are aligned with Russia.

Alliance of Sahel States (ASS)

Imma need them to team up with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) 🥵🥵🥵

[-] redtea@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 8 months ago

I kinda read your comment as saying, if Niger can do it, Burkina Faso should at least try.

[-] Xx_Aru_xX@hexbear.net 21 points 8 months ago

How long can the CIA play whack-a-mole

Lib Media: Authoritarianism is on the rise in Burkina Faso

Edit: lmao I knew it

[-] redtea@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 8 months ago

'bout to win the gold medal in it, some might say.

[-] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 8 points 8 months ago

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

[-] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 22 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

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

[-] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 11 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

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

Edit: I was thinking of the Niger coup, my bad. I haven’t seen anything from the BF party. Can’t keep track of all the coups

[-] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 20 points 8 months ago

Ultras can exist in every country, there’s nothing about being close in proximity makes one automatically correct. Imperialism is the primary contradiction and sometimes if you are too close to some domestic issue you can’t see that
