There was mention of Traoré at an April 3 hearing in Washington held by the Senate Committee on Armed Services. Senator Roger Wicker commented on “the ruling elite of a country [in Africa] receiving gratuities on the side.” Responding, General Michael Langley, head of the U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM), stated that, for “Captain Traore in Burkina Faso … gold reserves … are just in exchange to protect the Junta [sic] regime.”
They’re angry about not being able to rob the Burkinabe people, ruin the environment. May Traoré and the Sahel alliance live long and prosper.

Meanwhile, deep in the bowels of Langley, “OK folks, how are we going to kill this guy? We don’t want another Castro fiasco, and I don’t think people will buy another Allende ‘suicide’.”
They’ll just fund islamic extremism in the area. In fact, I’m sure they already are.
