Burkina Faso: President Ibrahim Traoré strengthens security and national sovereignty with trusted men, like Commandant Oumarou Yabré
President Ibrahim Traoré continues to reorganize the state institutions to strengthen the security and sovereignty of Burkina Faso. As part of this process, the National Intelligence Agency (ANR) is evolving into the National Security Council, a new institution with expanded responsibilities in the areas of intelligence and national security. This transformation marks a decisive step in adapting Burkina Faso’s security apparatus to contemporary challenges, enhancing its analytical and operational capabilities.
The appointment of Commander Oumarou Yabré as the head of this new institution is a recognition of his skills and commitment to serving the nation, perfectly aligned with President Ibrahim Traoré’s vision. As a former director of the ANR, Yabré has demonstrated exemplary leadership in line with the strategic vision of President Traoré, focused on ensuring the security of citizens and national sovereignty. His experience and understanding of security issues make him the right person, in the right place, capable of leading the National Security Council with effectiveness and rigor.
This decision reflects the head of state’s desire to rely on trusted men and women to build a strong and resilient Burkina Faso. With Commander Oumarou Yabré at the helm of the National Security Council, the country now has a key strategic tool to anticipate and neutralize threats while reinforcing its achievements in peace and security.
