If they're damned if they do, and damned if they don't, then that really only highlights the need for Bazoum's disposal. Beats letting him run around and foment more terror via a Guaidó-esque escape.
Yeah, in these circumstances inaction usually is the worst action. I just hope they manage to navigate this well because it's a very dicey and complex situation to be in. For example, if going forward with the trial and execution, it'd be cool if they made significant portions of the proceedings public (and maybe even with official translations) to counter how they're going to be automatically discredited by the fr*nch and their norman allies. That way they'd at least be able to count on more neutral third parties, like other unrelated third world countries, to stave off intervention.
As to making the proceedings public, even that may not work. I speed scrolled through the Wikipedia page on Sankara the other day and it had a bit about public "show trials."
