Another Burkina Faso Update
Blaise Compaore's ouster in Burkina Faso has fallen out of the international headlines, but here are some of the additional articles on the topic that I kept track of over the last few weeks. My only note of clarification is that all of these folks who keep calling Compaore's predecessor, Thomas Senkara, "the African Che Guevara" either don't have much respect for Senkara, or don't actually know how feckless a revolutionary Ernesto Guevara actually was.
