Thanks for covering this history and the current crisis. I have a friend in USA from Burkina Faso. He migrated in 2017 and has done well, but I fear for his family in Burkina Faso.

When you write about labor unions protesting in countries like Burkina Faso, which unions are these? There's not much of a secondary sector as you identify. Are they public sector unions?

Teachers, agricultural workers, healthcare workers, public administration, postal, construction, mininfg, small traders, and informal sector worker unions.

Good question!
