Ongoing advent calendar to increase understanding across nations in the run up to the Olympics. So exciting!

First up: Burkina Faso

Against the humiliating bondage of a thousand years,
Rapacity came from afar to subjugate them for a hundred years.
Against the cynical malice in the shape,
Of neo-colonialism and its petty local servants.
Many gave in and certain others resisted.

Cheers Burkina Faso, I'm off for a Singha
