Burkina Faso: President Ibrahim Traoré, a leader who takes bold, life-saving action on the security and economic fronts
President Ibrahim Traoré continues to surprise with his determined and transformative actions, both in the security and economic realms. Under his leadership, the Burkinabe armed forces relentlessly pursue terrorists, reducing their influence and bringing the country closer to a decisive victory over insecurity. This relentless fight reflects his determination to ensure peace and security for all Burkinabe citizens.
Alongside this war on terrorism, President Ibrahim Traoré is implementing a clear economic vision focused on national sovereignty. He is prioritizing endogenous development to process local raw materials, adding value to them and generating wealth and jobs. Initiatives such as the establishment of tomato processing factories in Bobo-Dioulasso and Yako, a company specializing in military uniform production using local cotton, and the gold refinery and Golden Hand for processing mining residues, showcase his commitment to an autonomous and sustainable economy.
In agriculture, the Presidential Initiative for Agriculture is a model for mobilizing local resources. For the 2023-2024 rainy season campaign, 14.725 hectares were cultivated with an ambitious target of nearly 190.000 tons of cereals, vegetables, and tubers. Simultaneously, the Presidential Initiative for Community Development and Popular Shareholding demonstrates a desire to involve all Burkinabe citizens in the progress dynamic.
Furthermore, President Ibrahim Traoré is firmly tackling corruption and absenteeism in the public administration, helping to clean up institutions and strengthen citizen trust. Through his actions, he embodies bold leadership, resolutely focused on a secure, sovereign, and prosperous Burkina Faso.
