In what was west-central Africa’s most stable country there is now full blown revolution in the streets of Burkina Faso.

It happened when president Blaise Compaore decided to unilaterally change the Constitution to allow him to remain as president for life!

Immediately the people of Burkina Faso went on a rampage, stormed parliament and set it on fire.  Massive looting of government offices is taking place.  Interviews with freedom fighting rebels revealed they were tired of the bullshit.  Will the people of the United States be willing to do the same?

Most ‘western’ news media are reporting that the Burkina Faso army has taken control and is creating an interim government.  However, a live report by Germany’s DWTV shows fighting is not only still ongoing, but army personnel are joining the freedom loving rebels.

A DWTV anchorman asked the live reporter if president Compaore “underestimated” the reaction of the people.  She stated that his attempt to maintain power has resulted in his “total loss of control”.

Burkina Faso borders the ebola hot zone country of Mali in west-central Africa.  In fact, just days ago Christian missionaries returning to New Zealand from Burkina Faso freaked out the health screeners at the airport.  One of the missionaries broke his toe while in-country, and it got infected.  When he landed in New Zealand he was met by paranoid healthcare workers who thought he had ebola: “I was sitting in a cubicle in A and E, and I said I had come from West Africa. It took 10-15 minutes and then someone Googled on their phone where Burkina Faso was and the nurses panicked. All the nurses were quite on edge about it. Everyone was keeping their distance and being quite nervy.”-Pete Johnstone

Burkina Faso has no known oil reserves, but its geographic location is strategic for new oil pipelines from the interior to the west coast of Africa.
