Not every AES state is social illiberal. Maybe laws are. But all the isms are very much prevalent in the west to an high degree as well. The “existence” of progressive neighbourhoods in Berlin, Cologne, London or San Fransisco does not erase this fact.

Mind that Burkina Faso nearly lost half the country to the Islamic state, these laws are there to keep Burkina Faso alive and appease/win back the muslim population.
