Burkina Faso/Fight against terrorism: The effectiveness of the National Intelligence Agency of Burkina Faso saves lives and keeps terrorists away from the country

It is for nothing that Captain Ibrahim TRAORE, president of the transition in Burkina Faso, pays special attention to the Burkinabe intelligence agency. He provided it with the necessary and adequate equipment, and had to make changes at the head of the agency, placing a competent staff, able to act to anticipate situations.

Led to date by Captain YABRE Oumarou, the national intelligence agency is an essential service in the fight against terrorism in Faso. This service has shown its effectiveness since its restructuring. It is thanks to this service that the fighting forces manage to anticipate the action of criminals, thwart their plans and neutralize them.

It is in this dynamic and this increased efficiency of intelligence, that the Burkinabe armed forces at the front have little once again, put the hand on a group of terrorists, in the commune of Séguénéga, in the north of the country. They were massacred in large numbers in the early morning of Thursday, October 12, 2023.
