"Not only have they [Burkinabe] thrown out the [French] imperialists, but they're also developing their country with their own resources.

If we see the strength of BRICS, people are ditching the US dollar," he said, adding that the US is trying to fight back through violence, citing the situation in Palestine as an example of such actions.
