Burkina Faso/ Destabilization plot foiled: A sinister project against national refounding
In a statement, the Burkinabé government sheds light on a foiled destabilization plot. Since January 13, 2023, Burkina Faso has been the scene of a surreptitious plot aimed at destabilizing its institutions and hindering the Refoundation process for the dignity, integrity, freedom, and sovereignty of the country. The security forces, mobilized since that date, have successfully dismantled a network involving active and retired military personnel, civilians, and activists, all conspiring to overturn the course of Burkinabé history.
The fateful date of January 14, 2024, was chosen by the instigators of this diabolical plan to implement their nefarious design, thus projecting Burkina Faso into inevitable chaos. Fortunately, the vigilance of intelligence services and the promptness of patriotic defense and security forces thwarted this destabilization attempt, preserving the hopes of freedom and independence for the Burkinabé people.
The authors of this demonic plot, indifferent to the suffering endured by the population over the past decade, sought to restore an outdated order condemned by the collective consciousness of the Burkinabé. Their Machiavellian plan involved corrupting military personnel throughout the country to organize a mutiny, financing complicit civil society organizations, and planning attacks on the seats of civic vigilance.
Funds from abroad were in the process of being transferred to support these subversive activities. Their ultimate goal was to create turmoil for external intervention, orchestrated by a commando aiming to eliminate Transition authorities and sow chaos.
Ongoing investigations formally confirm the involvement of several military and civilian individuals in this sinister project. Arrests have already taken place, interviews are underway, and technical analyses are being conducted to unveil all the ramifications of this conspiracy. The links between the various actors point to a faction hungry for power, willing to do anything to influence the country’s public and political decisions.
Burkinabé authorities assure the population that legal channels will be used to expose these perfidious maneuvers, both nationally and internationally. The Burkinabé people, determined to defend their freedom, remain vigilant against any future attempts at destabilization.
