Democracy is the highest level of fraud the west brought upon africa,they have been using this bullshit to enslaved africans by enthroning their puppets.
I don't necessarily think that democracy is the problem here in Africa, what I sense is that it is being used as a tool to place their puppet in power that does their bidding, because their are other top nations in the world that are operating with democracy, but are doing just fine, though it's obvious that for a big change to happen here in Africa, a military rule is needed because they are the only ones that can easily oppose the western powers and do what's needs to be done without troubles, why the case of Burkina Faso looks very different is that their leader Ibrahim traoré is very smart and intelligent, so with what he has achieve do far while in power, the french powers knows that their is no way back for them if this continues like this unlike other nations that are being govern by military head.
It is true that Iran have become immune to western sanctions. This sanctions no longer work on Iran economy anymore because they have achieved success in self sufficiency,a
their is a level at which you will be penalized and punish by someone that you depends really on, that at a point in your life you will seat down and reflect how you have given the said person enough power over your life and finance, and how to retrieve that power back, and this is what Iran has done, because the constant unnecessary sanctions is way too much, so they have to take back that economic power given away by focusing more in producing things themselves than relying on west that are using it against them anytime Iran refuses to do their bidding, and as we can all see, the sanction is no longer working and it has really opens the eyes of Iran to discover potentials they never thought existed, so it's really a blessing in disguise.
