Burkina-Faso: On the need to support the new transitional government

the sowers of division do not appreciate the reappointment of 3 former ministers to their posts in the new government formed by Prime Minister Apollinaire de Tambèla. According to observers of the Burkina political scene, these criticisms of the country’s new leadership team are unfounded, given that the recalled ministers have no family ties with ousted President Paul-Henri Sandaogo Damiba, nor with the new President, but rather are Burkina Faso citizens, determined to serve the higher interest of the nation.

Captain Ibrahim Traoré, in appointing Apollinaire Joachim de Tambèla head of government on October 21, saw in him a citizen with a well-made head, capable of choosing competent and trustworthy collaborators, who could help him to assume a transition responding to the aspirations of the people of Burkina Faso.

The ministers retained in their posts in this government have already demonstrated their ability to serve and defend the interests of the country and not the interests of any president. Their many years of experience in their respective fields, and their know-how in managing their ministerial portfolios certainly weighed in the balance for their renewal.

The putsch of September 30 is not synonymous with the cessation of the functioning of the state. declared Captain Ibrahim Traoré during his meeting with the Secretaries General on October 2nd. « It’s a continuity of the administration in a way, but perhaps with another pace… In Burkina Faso, everything is urgent, from security to defence, to health, social action, to the infrastructure, everything is urgent,” he said.
The new executive also met this Wednesday morning in Ouagadougou. This is a contact meeting of ministers held at the Primature. Prime Minister Me Apollinaire Kyélem de Tambèla took the opportunity to outline his government’s objectives in three points, which are: the security issue, improving the quality of life of Burkinabè and improving the system of governance. “It is a fighting government that has been formed. This is not a gala dinner government, ”said the Prime Minister.

Statements that prove the commitment of the new transitional government to work hard and move the country forward in all areas.

Burkina is going through a very sensitive period, and the current government needs everyone’s trust and support. The struggle to bring Burkina to the end of the tunnel must be collective. Social cohesion is more essential than ever; waste of time and energy in sterile and divisive debates are to be banned.
