Traore is definitely socialist. The other leaders of Mali and Niger I believe are moreso anti-imperialists more broadly (something akin to Nasser in Egypt, or Gadaffi in Libya)
Could you elaborate on Traore being a socialist? From my limited information, it seemed like the most he’d be is a Blanquist (like Sankara sort of was) and probably isn’t even that, though of course I think the AES is a positive development regardless.
