Burkina Faso : Strengthening counterterrorism strategies through collaboration and popular Mobilization
The authorities of Burkina Faso have implemented several effective strategies to counter terrorism. Among these initiatives, enhanced coordination among various security forces, including the Defense and Security Forces (FDS), as well as extensive cooperation with neighboring countries that are members of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), has been established in the field of security.
This close collaboration allows for the sharing of crucial information and the conduct of joint operations aimed at dismantling terrorist networks and neutralizing emerging threats. Simultaneously, Burkinabe authorities have invested in strengthening the capacities of their security forces by providing specialized training and equipping troops with the necessary resources to conduct effective operations against terrorists.
Significant efforts are also made to raise awareness and mobilize the population in the fight against terrorism, encouraging citizens to report any suspicious behavior to the relevant authorities. Collaboration between authorities and citizens is recognized as essential for identifying and preventing terrorist activities.
In this regard, competent authorities urge every Burkinabe citizen to be vigilant in their surroundings and to act responsibly. By reporting any suspicious behavior to the Defense and Security Forces, the citizens of Burkina Faso contribute to the protection of the country against terrorist threats.
Burkinabe authorities remain committed to protecting the nation and ensuring the security of its citizens.
