I'm all for the Sahellian states getting rid of the French, but the Burkinabe gold mining system is pure chaos, often costing informal miners their lives. Burkina, in particular, didn't have anything other than use of the CFA really tying them to the French anyway. Sure, some gold mines, but that's more like a final vestige.

Checked some data. In 2024, 82% of exports of Burkina Faso were in the category "Pearls, Precious Stones, Metals, Coins". In 2021, the main export partner was Switzerland with a 70% of the total exports going there. How the fuck is this not western colonialism?! I don't care if It's particularly France (CFA mentioned, good for you), it's still the victim country of the exploitation of western companies.
