Burkina Faso: Captain Ibrahim Traoré or the transition to patriotism.

The ambition is to serve Burkina Faso instead of using it. Without percussion or deception, the President of the transition of Burkina Faso, Captain Ibrahim Traoré, has just demonstrated his patriotic spirit, by renouncing the advantages associated with his office. The voice of salvation is now drawn. Captain Ibrahim Traoré, is about to write one of the most glorious pages in the recent history of Burkina Faso.

Indeed, the President and the ministers of the Burkinabe transition showed, at the end of the traditional Council of Ministers at the end of November 2022, a good example of patriotism by taking healthy decisions in the face of the good management of the transition. The President of the Transition, Captain Ibrahim Traoré, has decided to keep his salary as Captain!

Thus, with pride, the spokesman of the government of Faso, commenting on the Council of Ministers, said that the Head of State took this decision to show this spirit of sacrifice that must inhabit each Burkinabe in the current situation of his country. The man of integrity and courage at the same time would be followed by the Prime Minister and the other members of the Government who have also decided in turn to devote 50% of their salaries in November to the National Solidarity Fund, for the benefit of people in difficulty, including internally displaced persons.

Moreover, the Council of Ministers has decided to repeal the decree of April 2022″, taken by Lieutenant-Colonel Paul-Henri Sandaogo Damiba increasing the salaries of the President and members of the government. At that time the salaries of ministers were estimated at more than two million FCFA (more than 3,000 dollars). The repeal of this decree marks the return to the provisions of the 2008 decree which set the salaries of members of the government between 1,155,000 FCFA ($1800) and 1,205,000 FCFA ($1900).

Through these acts that he has just taken, Captain Traoré is not only the worthy heir of the guide of the Burkinabe revolution, Captain Thomas Sankara, but also and above all a textbook case for the young African generation in general and that of Burkina Faso, in particular.
