I definitely didn't like that in all of the times he stopped to ask people why they liked Traore, he never gave them enough space to explain specifically why the new government is good. It's just "he's for the people" (and I'm sure if given a bit more time they would have more specific things to say!)
Also, focusing on new factories being built without explaining that Traore isn't just a neoliberal who is bringing foreign capital to exploit his nation. He is specifically going out of his way to keep the Sankara legacy alive by doing socialist development, not funded by imperialists.
Yes. I hate to be critical of videos like this, and it's a nitpick ig but I couldn't help wincing even in the first 30 seconds, talking about Burkina Faso's rapidly growing popularity by saying "And it's all just because of one man."
