President Ibrahim TRAORE, stimulator of popular patriotism...

The dynamism and leadership of the President of Faso, Captain Ibrahim TRAORE, are seen as key drivers of popular patriotism. According to certain opinion leaders, his rise to power is considered the best thing that could have happened to the country of upright men. For them, it is through his patriotic leadership that many Burkinabe are beginning to recognize their role and value to the nation.

This analysis stems from the noticeable involvement of citizens in concrete actions addressing public needs. In addition to contributing to peace efforts and the patriotic support fund for a better fight against terrorism, citizens are increasingly mobilizing around public works and projects of general interest. For example, communities are initiating and constructing healthcare and road infrastructure for the benefit of their localities.

This is the case for the residents of Djibo in the Soum province, in the Sahel region, and those from Bèna in the Banwa province and the Boucle du Mouhoun region, who came together to build roundabouts named “AES Roundabout,” without waiting for the intervention of the country’s authorities.

At the inauguration ceremony, the leaders of these communities called on their fellow citizens to stay mobilized and support the vision of the Head of State and the government members in their actions. According to some opinions, this represents a growing awareness among the population of the importance of their involvement in building a prosperous and strong Burkina Faso.

This is also seen as the result of efforts made by the authorities in the land of upright men to restore the spirit of patriotism, civic engagement, and solidarity within Burkinabe society. These values are seen as the only way for each citizen to defend the interests of their country or contribute to its development. President Ibrahim TRAORE’s leadership has thus helped usher in this new era of patriotism for the sovereignty and freedom of Burkina Faso.
