from The Fire This Time Podcast · host Fire This Time

In episode 109, the FTT crew takes a critical look at Burkina Faso's revolution amid claims that it isn't "real" by US military generals & Black 'radicals' alike. Did AFRICOM's General Langley accusations against Captain Ibrahim Traoré & Burkina Faso, and the Pan-African backlash that ensued, get him fired by President Trump? Why does the view of Black 'radical' FD Signifier align with General Langley & US imperialism? What is the relationship between AI & counterinsurgency within the context of Burkina Faso's revolution? Why do postmodernists claim the Sahel revolution "isn't real"?
