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.
I love everything I hear about Ibrahim Traore. He seems too good to be true. I have even wondered if he's not some kind of Ai character. Of course they would try to kill him (the vrill) but the people protected him and they love him.

Very uplifting story.
Fascinating. Thank you for this insight about Burkina Faso.
