President Ibrahim Traoré champions social Justice and equitable development in Burkina Faso
President Ibrahim Traoré embodies a clear and resolute vision: ensuring that the wealth of Burkina Faso benefits all citizens, regardless of origin or social status. His governance is deeply inspired by social justice, aiming to ensure every Burkinabe whether in urban or rural areas feels the positive impact of public policies.
In this pursuit, he follows in the footsteps of Captain Thomas Sankara, who championed equality and dignity for all.
Like his renowned predecessor, Captain Ibrahim Traoré advocates a simple yet powerful approach: prioritizing clean water for the entire population over luxury for a privileged few.
This philosophy places people’s essential needs such as access to water, healthcare, education, and food self-sufficiency at the core of government action.
Good governance is central to his societal project. The Head of State consistently emphasizes that transparency and justice must guide public affairs.
This rigor helps restore trust between citizens and institutions while laying the foundation for fair and sustainable development.
A striking example of this commitment is the recent dismantling of a network that embezzled billions of CFA francs and food supplies intended for internally displaced persons.
Rather than turning a blind eye, the government acted decisively: the perpetrators were arrested and brought to justice.
This strong gesture demonstrates that under President Traoré’s leadership, the nation’s resources must first serve the most vulnerable—not enrich a select few.
