For decades, Russia had waited to gain an inroad into the African market, but with little success.  But now, there's an opportunity after the crack in the relationship between France and its African allies.

The Africans have allowed Russia to offer them a 'better' deal than France had ever offered at least in the eyes of the Africans who had also falling apart from their other brothers in the Ecowas community and had gone on to create their sub regional community which have only the three of them Mali, Burkinafaso and Niger, three countries that are very rich in mineral resources.

The two most important African trading partners had been UK and France but the two European countries had managed the relationship in a way that keeps retarding the progress of the African countries.

And now Burkina-Faso has been courageous enough to seize the opportunity Russia had always offered, and the good thing is that other African nations are taking note of the progress Traore is making in Burkina-Faso after his alignment with Russia.  And unless France can move very fast, things will have to remain as it is for now.

Since the beginning of the Russian agreement, an attempt had been made on  Traore's life nineteen times. With intelligence from Russi,a he had been able to stay ahead of the enemies.

The poor people of Burkinafaso are the real winners of the new development and they had been really supportive of their own but can they do without the support of their fellow African people who are insisting on the reinstatement of democracy in these countries, revealing also their distaste for the Russians whose gestures they see as Greek gifts and who could be even worse than their former western allies.
