Burkina Faso: Imminent Danger to President Traoré’s Life. Urgent Need to Strengthen Security around the President and Borders

External enemies of Burkina Faso continue to organize malicious and diabolical schemes aimed at gaining control of the country’s governance and its resources. This, by mmanipulating both national and international opinions, setting up ambushes and  launching attacks on cities and populations… This time, they’re emerging with an even more sinister plan: to eliminate the individual who stands as a barrier to their ambitions. They are allegedly plotting to assassinate President Traoré, warns a patriotic source. President Traoré’s life is in danger.

According to the informant, certain diplomatic missions in Ouagadougou are either informed about or complicit in the scheme against the President, and one of them has even provided a location to house foreign mercenaries who have been discreetly introduced to Burkina Faso for the conspiracy.

There’s an urgent need for security forces to conduct investigations to apprehend the commissioned mercenaries and bring them to confess before the court.

At the airports, security checks must be intensified, especially for those entering the country regardless of their status and the type of passport they hold.

Burkina Faso’s embassies abroad must contribute to preserving President Ibrahim Traoré’s life.

They should avoid being lenient in visa issuance or, better yet, reduce the availability of visas in countries recognized as enemies of Burkina Faso.
