    Burkina Faso is among a growing number of countries in West and Central Africa that have been hit by a surge in coups and delays to the return of democratic rule.

    Since taking power in a 2022 coup, its military leaders have launched sweeping reforms, including postponing elections that were expected to restore civilian rule and dissolving the country’s independent electoral commission.

    Ah yes, “hit by a surge in coups” unlike all the times throughout modern history when imperialist powers launch coups to install governments who sold their peoples out to governments and corporations that wanted to exploit them.
