Extremely disappointing to see this, this is not a Sankara thing to do at all.

      Well, they’ve taken a side, and NATO are preoccupied with Ukraine for now. At the end of the day though, a gay rights NGO is a drop in the ocean when you weigh it up against the amount of money they can throw to cause all sorts of problems in the region. Stir up ISIS, pay off mining contractors, other various soft power measures.

        It sucks but unfortunately the average western gay rights NGO in Africa is part of that apparatus. No matter how well-intentioned its founders/staffers are, despite all their hypothetical best intentions, they’ll likely be operating entirely atop Western-HQ’d IT systems and their work in the region will functionally serve as a source of blackmail against locals and become in practice a vehicle to create pretexts for ISIS and destabilization that NATO will arm and finance in the area.
