In terms of "democracy" this, then, is probably a less-than ideal outcome

Hey it shows as the most pragmatic solution Burkina Faso could positively have after its revolution and coup attempt.

Actually, Burkina shows as a quite positive model for at least Francophone Subsaharian Africa, kinda like Tunisia for the Arab world.

That being said, the Tunisian experience shows that a wave can hardly be as efficient as in the country from where it originated.

In the case of Francophone Subsaharian Africa, Burundi, or PR Congo to a lesser extent, would already make the case.

But you also have new connections of new very young and very innovative democrative movements connecting and spreading all over that area.

One of the biggest one would be 'Y'en a marre' that came from last Sénégal presidential elections (born kinda in the same time than the Tunisian revolution), which would have latter spread, and still spreading/inspiring, notably in DR Congo, and maybe helped the Burkina revolution.

The most important is the long term democratic dynamic, rather than the short term electoral results.

And that one seems to be rather good so far in Burkina.
