France bans the adoption of children from Burkina Faso on its soil

The Land of the honest Men, led by the most valiant Head of State in West Africa, Captain Ibrahim Traoré, President of the MPSR, is once again being harassed by the imperialist policies of the West. The French Ministry of Foreign Affairs has announced a ban on the adoption of Burkinabe children in France.

«All international adoption procedures concerning children ordinarily resident in Burkina Faso by any person ordinarily resident in France have been suspended», the Foreign Affairs Minister said.

However, families who have already started the process of adopting children from Burkina Faso will be able to continue with their application.

The press release from the Minister of Foreign Affairs states that these families will be able to continue with their adoption procedures, but following the recommendations of the Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs.

This decision deepens the rift in an already tense diplomatic situation between the two countries, even if the French ministry is reserving its right to apply it for the time being.

Such an order a few days after the withdrawal of the accreditation of the Defence Attaché of the French Embassy in Burkina Faso, Emmanuel Pasquier, for subversive activities, appears to be revenge on the part of France.

In 2022, seven children from Burkina Faso were adopted by French nationals.

The total number of adoptions since 2008 is 268.

The authorities in Burkina-Faso are still full of praise for coming up with new ideas in the event of a crisis caused by the former colonial power.

After a year of good governance by the MPSR in power, the balance sheet could not be more positive.

Head of State Colonel Ibrahim Traoré has focused mainly on security issues, but has not neglected social issues.

But it has to be said that, with the considerable decline in terrorist attacks and the emerging social stability, the current authorities will have to impose restrictions on the adoption of Burkinabe orphans abroad to prevent the brain drain.
