In the African country of Burkina Faso, power has passed into the hands of the military

October 1 2022 43

As a result of a military coup in the African Republic of Burkina Faso, the head of state, Paul-Henri Damiba, was overthrown. The overthrow of the head of the country, who was at the head of Burkina Faso not so long ago, was reported by the military themselves. They took control of state television and announced that they were taking power into their own hands for a transitional period.

The leader of the coup was an officer of the country's army, Ibrahim Traore. Damiba did not last even 8 months in power.

At the moment, it is known that the government of this African country has been dissolved, the actions of the constitution and the previously signed so-called interim charter have been suspended by the military seized power in the country.

Captain Ibrahim Traore:

Paul-Henri Damiba is no longer acting head of state due to his inability to cope with the growing position of radical Islamists. We have decided to close the country's borders indefinitely.

The leader of the anti-government movement also said that the military was suspending political and social activities in the country.

This is the second coup in Burkina Faso (formerly Upper Volta) in 8 months. In January, Damiba came to power in a wave of a coup, overthrowing the previous president, Marc Kabore. Damiba's main slogan was that he would make the country safer. But nothing like this happened, as a result of which the riots began to cover the capital of the country - the city of Ouagadougou.

An interesting appeal from the military command that seized power as a result of the coup:

We promise the international community to honor our commitments. We urge the citizens of the country to continue to mind their own business.

The UN got off with the traditional languid statement that they are concerned about what is happening in Burkina Faso. According to UN official S. Dujarric, Burkina Faso needs peace and unity to fight terrorists and extremists.

Dujarric:

We call for calm in Burkina Faso.

  In Africa, as always, stability. They appear on the news only with the words coup or famine.
  Someone explain to them that as long as there are constant upheavals, there will be constant famine.

    And what does it mean "passed into the hands of the military."
    There was a military coup back in January, and nine months have not passed.
    The whole difference is that the previous head colonel was a Frenchophile, and the current one is Frenchphobe.
    So, of course, we don't have to go there directly. But here, on the little things, how to help (for example, when choosing who to sell grain to, choose these guys) is quite possible. For us, they are more useful than the previous ones.
    True, the previous one was also credited with a connection with Russian PMCs, but most likely these are just rumors. We reasoned that we could extract something useful.
    Here is an article, one of the sources of these rumors

  It is better to build factories on the territory of the Russian Federation. In the Russian Federation, microelectronics needs to be strongly raised.

    I suspect that Moscow has been interested in the captain for a long time. The coup seems to be anti-French and the people are already flanking the streets with Russian flags.

The UN got off with a traditional sluggish statement
The training manual from the United States has not yet been received, therefore it is sluggish and indifferent. It is high time to understand that Africa lives its own life and according to its own rules, though it asks for food from the so-called. civilized world.

Burkina Faso - the "Country of Honest People", which was once "Liberia" - the "Country of White People Liberated from Slavery" African Americans ". Apparently, they continue to have "the covenants of the founding fathers and the high standards of US democracy": the people, however, it has the right to revolt, and the people and the army are united.Maybe there is a full-scale simulation (on a small African country, "which is not a pity").

  But it has never been Liberia. Upper Volta - was.
