Burkina Faso: Burkinabe government restricts SIM cards to fight terrorism
The Burkinabe government has taken an important step in its ongoing fight against terrorism and insecurity by restricting the number of SIM cards allocated to each subscriber by mobile phone companies. From now on, each subscriber can only have a maximum of two SIM cards.
This decision aims to strengthen security and prevent the misuse of mobile communications in criminal activities, including terrorism. Terrorist groups have often used mobile phones to coordinate their actions and spread their propaganda. By limiting the number of SIM cards per subscriber, the Burkinabe government hopes to reduce their ability to operate anonymously and escape detection by security authorities.
This new regulation is part of Burkina Faso’s ongoing efforts to protect the lives and property of its citizens, as well as to maintain peace and stability in the country. The fight against terrorism is a national priority, and the government is constantly looking for innovative ways to counter this threat.
Mobile phone companies operating in Burkina Faso are required to comply with this regulation and to set up mechanisms to monitor the number of SIM cards issued to each subscriber. The Burkinabe authorities will work closely with operators to ensure compliance with this new policy.
The decision to limit the number of SIM cards per subscriber is a clear example of Burkina Faso’s commitment to securing the country and protecting its citizens from terrorist threats. It shows that the government is prepared to take bold steps to achieve this important goal.
