Abstract
From 2020, five successive military coups d’état took place in a short period in the three countries of francophone West Africa of Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger. The newly established military juntas attempted to form a confederation. These coups and the efforts to build a confederation must be understood as a revolt of the periphery against French imperialism. Discovering the causes of these military coups and the roots of the opposition between the views of imperialist countries and those of the local population requires the application of a historical materialist perspective, starting from an analysis of the determinant economic relations. The long period of economic exploitation and political control by France made the military coups d’état the only option for the local populations of the three countries to break this unequal relationship and to pursue an auto-centric development path.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
