Burkina Faso: Very remarkable participation of VDR in operations to liberate the national territory
While the French media propagate false allegations about the volunteers for the defense of the Fatherland (The VDP), in order to discredit them among the population and international opinion, They continue their determination to work irreproachably to eradicate terrorism, which has plagued the country for several years.
By their bravery and frank coordination of operations with the national police a week ago, several terrorist bases were destroyed this week in the North and North Central of the country.
Last weekend, the elements of an elite unit of the National Police (GUMI) and the auxiliary of the army (VDP) under air cover, put out of harm, a group of criminals estimated at about twenty at the same time as the destruction of their bases in Kossouka and Timnaoré (North and North-Central), announces the army in a statement sent to the Burkina News Agency (AIB).
«As part of the operations to secure the national territory, a combined action of the grouping of mobile intervention units (GUMI) and Volunteers for Defence (VDP) of Tikaré supported by air vectors, targeted terrorist bases in the localities of Kossouka – Timnaoré respectively in the provinces of Yatenga (Northern Region) and Bam (North Central Region)» the army said in a statement.
«This action made it possible to neutralize more than twenty terrorists, to capture some and to destroy their places of refuge», specifies the note signed by the Chief of Staff General of the Armies, who «congratulates the mixed unit for this victorious offensive, encourages all the forces committed to continue with selfless their mission of reconquest of the national territory».
The information that makes believe that the VDP are the perpetrators of massacres of the population or any other abuses are only a lie, aimed at discrediting these brave auxiliaries and the fighting forces in general, to finally manipulate the Burkinabe people.
The latter is called to be vigilant, to avoid yielding to various malicious maneuvers propagated by French newspapers, with the approval of the neocolonialists, to undermine Burkina.
