Original Note:
France has never taken "50% of exports" from Burkina Faso. This 50% figure comes from the requirement by France for Burkina Faso to hold 50% of foreign reserves in France, which also pays interest on the deposits. As of 2019, this arrangement has been phased out. https://www.bbc.com/news/63708313
