In a statement, the transitional government formally denied this information.
Me Apollinaire Joachimson Kyelem de Tambela, represented the President of Faso, Captain Ibrahim Traoré at this high-level meeting. As a result, false news relayed by some media is circulating on the webs reporting the progress of a contingent of 2000 foreign soldiers in Faso very soon, as part of the Accra Initiative. To this end, the Burkinabe government formally denies these claims and strongly maintains that there has never been any question of deploying foreign troops on Burkinabe soil. Rather, the Accra initiative is about promoting subregional and regional peace, security and stability.For this reason, the transitional government reassures national opinion that the transitional authorities are convinced of the capacity of the Burkinabe people, in union with the defence and security forces and volunteers for the defence of the homeland. As well as to meet the historic challenge of restoring the integrity of Faso.
However, the Burkinabe transitional government reaffirms its commitment to subregional cooperation. In short, the government accredits its assiduity to any effort to seek concerted solutions to the current security crisis in Faso.
