#ibrahimtraoré #burkinafaso The six military takeovers of West Africa's government since 2020 have been supported by the region's declining popular support for democracy. The local populace has frequently welcomed the coups in Burkina Faso, Mali, Guinea, and Niger —even though elected presidents have occasionally been forcefully removed. Although the public may favor democracy, they also want their governments to respond to their justifiable complaints. In West Africa, democratically elected administrations have not performed well for their constituents and have even helped a few officials amass wealth through unethical behavior. This has made Russia come into the picture. Russian operations across West Africa have led to an unprecedented rise in popular support for Russia, citizen demands for Russian interventions, and, in some cases, new military partnerships between African countries and Russia. In today's video, we will see how Russia is using Burkina Faso for its anti-western Agenda. We will also see how the US has been responding to coup leaders. FOOTAGE licensed through Storyblocks
