Burkina Faso / Ibrahim Traoré: A year of leadership in the fight against terrorism
In just one year as President of Burkina Faso, President Ibrahim Traoré has made incredible progress in the fight against terrorism and the preservation of national stability. His firm determination to eliminate this threat and his dedication to the security of the entire sub-region deserve well-deserved recognition.
One of the outstanding characteristics of President Traoré’s leadership is his deep understanding of the true roots of terrorism in the sub-region.
He has been able to identify the social, economic and political factors that fuel this devastating scourge.
Instead of merely fighting the symptoms, he has courageously tackled the underlying causes, understanding that this is the only way to lasting peace.
Despite the obstacles, including blockades imposed by hidden imperialist interests, President Traoré has persevered in his efforts to strengthen the capacity of the Burkinabe army.
He has invested in the training of his armed forces and equipped them with the latest military technology.
This determination to modernise the security forces demonstrates his commitment to protecting the country and its citizens.
A decisive turning point in the fight against terrorism was the signing of the Liptako-Gourma Charter establishing the Alliance of Sahel States (AES) between Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger.
This regional initiative strengthens cooperation in the fight against terrorism and cross-border crime.
President Ibrahim Traoré has demonstrated his willingness to work closely with his counterparts to achieve a common solution.
The people of Burkina Faso play a crucial role in the success of these efforts. It is essential that the people continue to support President Ibrahim Traoré in his quest to eradicate terrorism.
National cohesion and solidarity are powerful assets in this fight. It is also essential to remain vigilant against internal plots and foreign interference aimed at destabilising the country.
