Burkina Faso: Under the supreme command of president Ibrahim Traoré, Burkina Faso’s combatant forces approach final victory against terrorism
Under the supreme command of President Ibrahim Traoré, the Burkinabe combat forces have showcased unwavering determination and formidable efficiency in the fight against terrorism.
This week, their offensive actions in several localities of Burkina Faso have successfully neutralized numerous terrorists, reclaimed stolen livestock, and seized weapons and other essential logistical equipment for their operations.
On May 15, 2024, a significant operation was carried out in the Tougan area against a group of terrorists on motorcycles advancing dangerously toward a combat forces position. Unaware that they were being monitored by aerial vectors, these assailants gathered in an orchard in the village of Gorombouli.
There, they met with accomplices and began conspiring under the trees. Observing their movements meticulously, the pilots decided to strike the main group gathered under a large tree, thereby eliminating a significant threat.
On May 16, 2024, at dawn, the mixed unit Tourbillon and the detachment of the 52nd Inter-Commando Regiment launched an offensive action to neutralize the survivors of the airstrike and recover material. This operation is part of a series of coordinated actions aimed at dismantling terrorist networks in the region.
A few days earlier, on May 11, after several hours of observing a significant terrorist group settled north of Filio (Soum), the air forces launched a decisive attack. The targets were locked and struck with precision, destroying the terrorists and their vehicles.
On the same day, later in the evening, aerial vectors were deployed to rescue the locality of Ramba (Ouahigouya area) under attack. Pursuing the fleeing assailants northward, they were able to locate and eliminate another column of criminals hiding in an orchard in Ouellé through targeted strikes.
Under the resolute leadership of President Ibrahim Traoré, the Burkinabe combat forces continue to demonstrate their capability to conduct effective offensive operations, inflicting severe losses on terrorist groups. Their commitment and courage provide a vision of a near victory against terrorism, restoring hope and security to the Burkinabe population.
