Russia Promises More Military Support for Burkina Faso’s Military Junta | Firstpost Africa
Russia’s foreign minister Sergei Lavorv has pledged more support to Burkina Faso’s military Junta and their leader Ibrahim Traore in fighting militant groups as he continues on with his whirlwind tour of West Africa in an attempt to fill a vacuum left by the region’s traditional Western partners. Russia will now deploy military instructors in Burkina Faso and the deployment size will grow with time. During the interaction with Burkina Faso’s officials, Lavrov thanked the West African Nation for having a neutral stance regarding the war in Ukraine. Meanwhile, Lavrov continues with this Africa tour as he heads to Chad in a bid to increase Russia’s popularity in the Sahel Region. Russian President Vladimir Putin is an iconic figure in the military junta-led West African states where they see Putin as an alternative to Western nations that had been allied to West African governments until they were removed in a series of military-led coups.

😂😂😂😂😂Russia is blessed, it can afford to assist its allies with surplus weapons unlike the whole NATO combined which is struggling with weapons.

[@TeeSpells]

It's business they paid for those weapons but yes Russia manufacturers their own weapons. Also they have the best air defense capabilities in the world along with electronic disruptive warfare gaming signals etc...

[@violetsrayreikishop2]

​@@TeeSpellsactually Russia gave Burkina Faso weapons and no strings attached because they understand how badly they need them and showing good faith unlike the west plus it shows Russia leaders haven't changed in their commitment towards fighting imperialism and wanting the world to be free and independent for freedom and justice this what the soviet union did for Africa Asia the MiddleEast and South America as well. The soviet union was not bad at all they just were infiltrated only America and Europe puppets say soviets were evil the world knows its bs even many of us Americans know better they invited us to escape racism segregation and genocide and soviet union had none of that black people were equally to Russia people and lived really well jealous America and Europe didn't like that. They wanted to be the world imperialist police so went to war against soviet union they thought they were gonna destroy them and when putin became president if modern day Russia federation they tried to buy him to be their puppet he showed them he'll never bow to evil

I love russia and Putin but please don’t do the stereotypes the west says about Africa. Their not donating them. Burkina Faso, Niger, and Mali are buying those weapons that’s why even the Burkina Faso leader says “russia dosent get a mine in our country for giving us weapons, we buy these weapons we pay. The people that “so called” donate stuff to Africa like money is the west but they steal more minerals then giving aid. So in reality Africa is the one that gives the world aid and specially gives the west aid. But yeah please don’t say donate when it’s not true. Makes Africas look poor when we’re the richest or like Russia or someone is our big brother when Africans are the mothers and fathers of everyone including Russia.
