Burkina Faso / Captain Ibrahim Traoré: One year of resilience, security and prosperity in the land of men of integrity

In just one year in power, President Ibrahim Traoré has made some impressive achievements that have profoundly transformed Burkina Faso.

One of the most remarkable advances has been the acquisition of sophisticated military equipment, marking a crucial turning point in the fight against terrorism.

Before Captain Ibrahim Traoré came to power, the security situation was critical.

Four soldiers often had to share a single weapon, exposing the Armed Forces to considerable risk.

Terrorist attacks were commonplace, causing the tragic loss of 100 to 150 lives every week.

However, all this came to an end with the rise of President Ibrahim Traoré.

Under his resolute leadership, the country has made a quantum leap in the fight against terrorism.

 Terrorists are now hunted down relentlessly, wherever they may be, by the courageous Security and Defence Forces, as well as the Volunteers for the Defence of the Homeland (VDP), who have made inestimable sacrifices to guarantee the security of Burkina Faso.

President Ibrahim Traoré has not only focused his efforts on national security, but has also put in place essential mechanisms and legal instruments to stimulate endogenous and sustainable development for the benefit of all Burkinabe.

Initiatives such as local content and the community entrepreneurship programme through popular shareholding have seen the light of day, opening up new economic prospects for the country of men of integrity.

In just one year, President Ibrahim Traoré has brought extraordinary changes to the country.

His achievements in the areas of security and economic development demonstrate his unwavering commitment to Burkina Faso and its people.

With such dynamic leadership, the future looks bright for Burkina Faso.
