      Looks like a trailer with a combustion engine and some sort of belt driven mill for grain.

    holy shit hard to believe a state can just do that

    directly improving these farmer’s material conditions.

    i know they are basically under siege from western backed insurgency but i can’t help but think this might have the nice side effect of building a massive popular front to back the government. the kind that might form dedicated militias and stuff

      Apparently they already have impromptu volunteer civilian militias patrolling the streets of Ouagadougou to defend against coup attempts on the Traoré government. The Burkinabe people are very politically conscious right now.

      They already pretty much have that going on, people outside the country have his support so it’s just a matter of getting the domestic supporters equipped and organized to defend the movement.

    Wow! It’s almost as if gold mining is really profitable! I sure do wonder what external factors kept Burkina Faso from doing this before??? (france-cool international-community-1international-community-2 )

      I’m really glad Traore keeps a piece on him at all times. It might seem a little silly but knowing how Sankara got got it might actually save his life one day.

    Impressive considering they probably have to spend a lot of their time and resources fighting off ISIS, IIRC they are making a real big comeback in the region

    “Those who come with wheat, millet, corn or milk, they are not helping us. Those who really want to help us can give us ploughs, tractors, fertilizers, insecticides, watering cans, drills and dams. That is how we would define food aid.”

    The western empire hates him! Liberate your people with one simple trick!

    Nationalize western-owned extractive industry running under fraudulent, exploitative schemes -> use the funding to free low-productivity agriculture labour power through mechanisation of agriculture -> build up industry attracting international investment from China, Russia and other emergent powers, put the newly created proletariat to work in the industry -> industrialise your country -> free your people from western colonialism

              It’s definitely not the case; but it’s the excuse Randy gives when people discover him in this state shortly thereafter.

    I’ve been thinking a lot lately about that throwaway line in the infamous Folger’s Coffee incest commercial, where the US Army dude says he’s back from “West Africa.” What the fuck were US troops doing in Burkina Faso in this fictional universe?! sankara-shining

    Edit: On further research, I guess he was supposed to be volunteering in the Peace Corps. The presumed penchant for sister-fucking got me crossed up and made me assume US Army. False alarm!
