Is Ibrahim Traoré a Socialist or Just a Left-wing Nationalist? (europe.pub)

Straight forward question. Been trying to gauge the man's politics and I think he leans more toward being an anti-colonial nationalist rather than an outright socialist. Still based and deserving of critical support, but maybe not the next Thomas Sankara; not that he needs to be, but it'd be cooler if he was.

I have been, but it’s hard to find reliable English-language sources on countries that Western Hegemony is opposed to.

No worries. That is actually a very common issue and plenty of comrades(including myself 🙂 ) in Lemmygrad are bringing tons of information regarding Traoré and Burkina Faso due to the high interest on this topic. You could check the following sub where I constantly update regarding this beautiful country:

c/africa (I also not only add regarding BF but also Mali and Niger)

Also, give my comment a look if you have the time! In that comment, I tried to collect as much information so that any comrade could make their decision regarding Burkina Faso -> https://lemmygrad.ml/post/8696144/6776592
