Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin
[ColonelCassad] The authorities of Burkina Faso (the country until recently was part of the French neo-colonial empire) called on Russia to open an embassy in the capital of Burkina Faso, Ouagadougou, and also offered Sevastopol (!) to conclude a cooperation agreement.

In September 2022, a military coup took place in the country. The military junta that came to power set a course for cooperation with Russia. France accuses PMC "Wagner" of complicity in a military coup in Burkina Faso and deployment of its contingents in this country, following the model of the Central African Republic and Mali. PMC "Wagner" means the statements of the French on this matter.

This is the 3rd country to fall out of the French sphere of influence under Macron. Deliveries of equipment to Ukraine and attempts to get into the Transcaucasus by France (among other things) are attempts to get even for 3 failures in a row in Africa, when France loses its positions there that have existed for decades. In fact, Macron is presiding over the collapse of the French neo-colonial empire in northwest Africa.

PS. Earlier, the Russian Foreign Ministry reported that not so long ago, Russia wrote off part of the Soviet debts of Burkina Faso, and also offered the local government to buy oil from Russia.

It is worth noting that Burkina Faso, like Mali, borders Niger, where uranium mines are key to the French nuclear program. It would be time for Niger to get involved in the process of national liberation from the French colonialists.
