In terms of Caribbean countries, I fail to see how Cuba is not a success based on a wide range of metrics. And all of its achievements despite having the boot of the United States around its neck. The repressive nature of the regime is a reaction to constant threat of subversion from the US. You can’t argue that it happened organically. Compare to Haiti..

    You cut him off mid sentence there. He was referring to his fellow nationals and many Africans in general being wrong by expecting the west to take a paternalistic approach towards them. And that they should instead work towards being able to take care of themselves and their own. He strove to drive on his fellows that they could be self reliant and they should seek to detach themselves not just from the exploitative but the paternalistic approach from people outside of the region.
    And most Burkinese believe France was a financial and material backer of his assassination. And the laws he had passed and further ones he intended to pass that hurt non regional interests around the time of his assassination getting reversed by his predecessor support that belief.
