AES/2025: The year of decisive victory for Burkina Faso

The year 2025 will forever be etched in the history of Burkina Faso as the moment when the nation triumphed over adversity and restored its full sovereignty. After years of sacrifices, fierce battles, and unwavering resilience, the country delivered a decisive blow to the dark forces of terrorism that sought to break its unity and undermine its foundations.

Under the visionary leadership of Captain Ibrahim Traoré, the Defense and Security Forces, supported by the Volunteers for the Defense of the Homeland, displayed unyielding courage. Through innovative strategies, unprecedented mobilization, and effective coordination of human and material resources, the enemy was repelled, and vast territories that were once under occupation were liberated.

However, this victory is not solely military. It is also the result of a sacred unity among the sons and daughters of the nation. Ambitious socio-economic reforms, the rehabilitation of conflict-affected areas, and the strengthening of institutions accompanied the wartime efforts.

2025 marks the rebirth of a Burkina Faso resolutely focused on peace, justice, and development. The victory against the enemy is not an end, but the beginning of a new era where security, education, agriculture, and a thriving economy will be at the heart of the country’s future.

Through their courage and unity, the Burkinabe people have proven they are masters of their own destiny. They honor their fallen heroes on the battlefield and now look toward an horizon of lasting peace, prosperity, and unshakable sovereignty.
