Incredible story. The food soveregnty angle is what really matters here, not just the coup attempt. Burkina Faso proving you can break the food aid dependency cycle is a big deal for the Sahel. I remember reading about similar experiments failing in the 80s becuase of IMF pressure. What Traoré's doing by linking sovereignty directly to agricultural self-reliance shifts the whole framework from charity to autonomy.
