Burkina Faso: President Ibrahim Traoré leads successful anti-terrorism efforts

Since President Ibrahim Traoré assumed leadership in Burkina Faso, the fight against terrorism has taken a decisive turn. Under his clear-sighted leadership, the Burkinabé army relentlessly tracks terrorists across the entire national territory, dealing significant blows to these criminal groups that threaten the country’s stability and security.

On Tuesday, February 13, 2024, a bold operation by the Burkinabé army in the Central-North region neutralized dozens of terrorists who had targeted a convoy on National Route 3. Thanks to quick and coordinated action, these criminals were spotted as they headed towards their target, about twenty kilometers from Pissila.

The imminent attack on the convoy was thwarted by a precise missile strike, inflicting severe losses on the terrorists. Those who survived fled but were relentlessly pursued by security forces, suffering another setback as they attempted to regroup under a large tree.

This victory is not an isolated case. On February 12, 2024, in Yaongo, 30 kilometers from Boulsa, the Burkinabé Air Forces also achieved significant success against the terrorists. After being repelled by the Volunteer Defense Forces (VDP), these criminals were hunted down to their last stronghold by combat helicopters, enduring deadly raids until their base was completely destroyed.

These military successes demonstrate the effectiveness of the strategies implemented under President Ibrahim Traoré’s leadership. Reconquest operations continue relentlessly in all sectors, testifying to the Burkinabé government’s determined commitment to eradicate the terrorist threat and ensure the security of its citizens.

Faced with these determined actions, terrorists realize that they have no respite and cannot escape justice. President Ibrahim Traoré’s firm leadership gives new hope to Burkina Faso in its fight against terrorism, affirming the country’s determination to protect its citizens and defend its values of peace and stability.
