Burkina Faso: Rise up, people of Faso – now is the time to show your support, now is the time for action!
Burkina Faso stands at a historic crossroads. After decades of drift, dependency, and security crises, a fresh wind is blowing across our country. The Popular Progressive Revolution (RPP), led by President Ibrahim Traoré, is no mere utopia. It is a concrete project, rooted in the realities of the people, and aimed at a future of dignity and sovereignty.
On the agricultural front, the RPP aims to transform Faso into a self‑sufficient nation.
Initiatives promoting irrigation, mechanisation, and the valorisation of local produce are beginning to shape an agriculture freed from the yoke of climate hazards and costly imports. Feeding Burkina through Burkina: that is a promise worth fighting for.
In education, Burkinabe youth, the future of nation are at the heart of priorities. Training enlightened citizens, competent technicians, and critical minds capable of building the nation: that is the ambition of a refounded school, decolonised in its content and grounded in our cultural values.
The health of the people is not neglected. Efforts are being made to bring care closer to the most vulnerable, strengthen hospital capacity, and reduce dependence on imported medicines. A healthy people is a productive, upright, invincible people.
Faced with the security threats that have mourned families for too long, the refoundation of the Defence and Security Forces is an absolute priority.
The Volunteers for the Defence of the Homeland (VDP) embody this patriotic momentum: Burkina defends itself, with its own sons and daughters. That is sovereignty in action.
Economically, the time has come to break with old guardianships. Valorising our mining resources, encouraging local entrepreneurship, and fighting tax evasion are paving the way for an economy truly at the service of the people.
But no revolution succeeds without its people. President Traoré cannot carry this glorious burden alone. Every Burkinabe farmer, student, trader, civil servant, member of the diaspora is called to take their part in this collective work.
Supporting the RPP means choosing dignity over servitude, work over handouts, the future over resignation.
