The Legacy of Resistance and Authoritarianism in Burkina Faso

On January 23, 2022, Burkina Faso became the fourth country in West Africa to experience a military coup. The coup came after years of civilian and military discontent with President Kaboré’s political stewardship.

What can we learn about authoritarianism and grassroots-level mobilization from Burkina Faso’s turbulent political history? Join ALLIES this Wednesday, March 30th at 8 PM in Eaton Hall 206 to discuss these questions and more!

ALLIES: Reviewing the U.S. Military’s Targeted Strikes: A Discussion

The US military has a hidden history of conducting drone strikes on houses or vehicles in Afghanistan, Syria, and Iraq, that they believe had ISIS bombers or bomb materials.
