Thesis feminism sankara

Hi, I am an international relations student from Italy. I’m doing a thesis on gender and feminism, focusing particularly on the policies implemented during the Sankara government and their legacy. I’m developing the thesis from the mossi era until the present day.

I was wondering if there was anyone who could recommend any readings on the subject, from the years of the first republic to the present, or perhaps have relevant data on the status of women in both the political, historical and social spheres.

I would like to have more sources so that I can provide for overcoming certain Occidental or partisan biases. Thx.

Why am I hearing only bad news about BS??

Every time I get online the only news I hear about BF are about how they lost a town and about how they lost a key position. They always seem to lose and if I want to find more info it’s also bad news. Is the war going good for BF or will they eventually lose to ISIS if things keep going like this?

BF* for title

Is BF safe to travel to as a White Syrian guy?

How is Ouagadougou safety wise for a white guy? Will I also run into any trouble for being a Syrian citizen upon arrival in Burkina Faso?

Need answers please

Hello, I really want to know how people are living in Burkina Faso because what I'm seeing in social media is big praise for Ibrahim Traore. I really want to know if the people living in Burkina Faso are actually enjoying his regime and if they are satisfied with him because social media can really be deceiving most of the time. Is he the Thomas Sankara that people claim he is? Is he revolutionising Burkina Faso?

Anyone interested in talking?

Hey! I'm a (black) American very interested in what is happening in Burkina Faso, and the AES, and want to talk to people that are from or are living in the country. It's so hard to trust what I see on the media so and I would much rather get information from someone on the ground. Je parle francais aussi.

Would me getting these hats be cultural appropriation?

Welp, I thought I had thin cotton or bamboo hats that simply look like winter hats rather than hats I'm wearing because of chemotherapy... then someone asked me what my hat was the other day and said it looked like I was covering a shaved head. I set out to find more colorful hats, because people might focus on them rather than question why I'm wearing a hat. I saw these (cotton hand woven) hats from Burkina Faso and am particularly interested in L and N (the 3rd and 4th ones)- Multicolor Woven Kufi Close-fit Men's Cotton Hat Medium | The Niger Bend | African Art, African Masks, African Jewelry, African Artifacts | Niger Bend. I don't know the symbology on the hats and/or if it would be appropriative for me to get them. I'm white and in the US. Thoughts?

Gaming in Burkina Faso?

Hey guys! I look at gaming cultures around the world and I am a racing game fan. I have asked all of these questions on different subreddits, simply because I am curious about how each and every single country on this planet experiences video games. I am also curious about gaming in Burkina Faso. My questions are:

What is more popular? PC or console?

What was more popular in the late 90s and early 2000s? PC or Console?

What racing game was popular in the late 90s and early 2000s!

What do racing game fans in Burkina Faso play today?-(I get it might not be the most popular genre, but for people who like it, what do they play?)

In general, what games are played there?

Thanks for your responses!!!!

Does ‘prinka’ mean something in Burkina Faso?

Im currently reading the english translation of a book by a Burkinabé author and there are some phrases which can not be translated with an exact meaning in English so are left in the original language. I was wondering if ‘prinka’ is one of those terms, which the main characters’ dad repeats a couple times when complaining about an old man in the village who comes to their house. If so, what does it mean?
