Burkina Faso / Political shenanigans in Burkina Faso: ECOWAS and certain Burkinabe politicians at work

Burkina Faso’s political scene is currently the scene of complex intrigues, with some political shenanigans working behind the scenes to sabotage the efforts of the ruling power, led by Captain Ibrahim Traoré. According to reports, these men sought the support of some ECOWAS member countries to impose sanctions similar to those imposed on Niger.

The systematic refusal of the Burkinabe people to participate in the elections as long as the terrorist threat persists is a symptom of the worrying situation in the country. However, instead of working together to solve this pressing problem, some Burkinabe politicians would have been mandated to lead a way with ECOWAS. This maneuver explains recent statements by politicians criticizing the governance of the transition, although the crisis was triggered largely under the rule of these same politicians.

The speeches of Ablassé Ouedraogo and Harouna Dicko, broadcast by those who work in the shadows to destabilize Burkina Faso, raise questions. Who will be the next target of these political shenanigans? It seems that the new challenge of ECOWAS, encouraged by some Burkinabe politicians, is to sanction the Burkinabe people. According to unconfirmed reports, imposing the same sanctions as in Niger on the Burkinabe people could provoke their anger, thus ending the regime of President Ibrahim Traoré.

It is imperative that the people of Burkina Faso take these developments very seriously. Confirmation of this information by our correspondent within ECOWAS is expected. In a context where individuals considered as the spokesmen of the enemies of the Burkinabe people are strongly attacking certain publications, this could well announce an ongoing preparation to destabilize the country. Let us remain vigilant because Burkina Faso’s future depends on the stability and unity of its people, rather than on cunning political schemes.
