Burkina Faso/Security: President Ibrahim TRAORE determined to continue the military equipment plan

According to analysts, it is thanks to the strengthening of both the Burkinabe national army and the intelligence service that today the country under  Captain Ibrahim TRAORE is not only better able to face the enemies in the bush but also able to thwart several destabilization plots orchestrated by the enemies of peace and those opposed to the new dynamic underway in Burkina Faso.

This is why it is crucial for the President of Faso to remain focused on his strategy, which aims to maximize the capabilities of the defense and security forces. In fact, the military hierarchy has already praised the efforts made by the authorities of the MPSR, marking a clear difference compared to previous leaderships the country has known. However, the president’s ambition is to go even further by acquiring more sophisticated military equipment, he says, in order to “have a strong army”.

“We will continue to equip the defense and security forces and reform the security sector”, he stated during his address on Burkinabe radio on October 5th. For him, much more advanced equipment is on the way. This military equipment plan is therefore seen as essential in the country’s ongoing struggle for independence and sovereignty.

According to some opinions, Captain TRAORE’s policy is even at the root of the patriotic commitment and determination demonstrated today by the combat forces on the battlefield.
