Ibrahim Traoré: Military Leader Dissolves Burkina Faso's Government by TouchNfollow(op): 3:38pm On Dec 07, 2024
Military leader dissolves Burkina Faso's government


Capt Ibrahim Traoré seized power in a coup two years ago

Burkina Faso's military ruler Capt Ibrahim Traoré has sacked his Prime Minister Apollinaire Joachim Kyelem de Tambela and dissolved the entire government.

The dismissal of the head of government and his cabinet was announced in a decree signed by the junta leader on Friday.

The decree did not specify why the prime minister was sacked, but said members of the dissolved government will continue to serve until a new cabinet is appointed.

Tambela, a civilian, was named prime minister in 2022, shortly after Ibrahim Traoré seized power in a co

His dismissal comes barely weeks after another civilian prime minister, Choguel Maïga, was sacked by coup leader Gen Assimi Goïta in neighbouring Mali.

It remains unclear if Capt Traoré will emulate his Malian counterpart by appointing a military official as prime minister, to maintain the junta's grip on power.

Burkina Faso, like its Sahel neighbours, continues to face security threats from jihadist groups.

Despite promises by the military to improve security, the situation remains dire with frequent attacks from insurgents.

There are concerns that junta leaders in the Sahel are trying to prolong their stay in power, by delaying elections meant to return their countries to civilian rule.

When hand touch you now , some people will be shouting freedom of speech.

Why do you have to reveal to everyone you have bad upbringing? Pls go back home and ask questions, something is seriously amiss
Re: Ibrahim Traoré: Military Leader Dissolves Burkina Faso's Government by tommy589(m):
An old format that never goes out of play book. Bring popular civilians on board that it's an all embracing military government. Push the civilians away when the regime is in total control and fill their positions with yes men
Re: Ibrahim Traoré: Military Leader Dissolves Burkina Faso's Government by DemonSlayer:
You people keep saying that the Nigerian military should step in to save the country. But honestly, we suffer from a serious case of national amnesia in this country—wallahi! If the military is so competent, why didn’t they save Nigeria during the 29 years they were in power? Let’s not forget the impunity, human rights violations, sectional coups and counter coups, corruption, mismanagement and embezzlement that characterized many of those years.

We've been there before, we've done that, severally, how come we never learn? I won't judge you for being too young to remember IBB, with his charm and sweet mouth. He played the military Messiah card well, sold Nigerians false hopes and dribbled the entire country like Maradona, earning him the notorious title of Evil Genius. Our core economic problems were
exacerbated in that era with his structural adjustment policy (SAP). We've never really recovered since then.

The truth is, the Nigerian elites—whether military, political, traditional, religious or otherwise—are all cut from the same cloth. It doesn’t matter what uniform they wear, the titles they hold, or the roles they play in daily life; their actions often reflect the same self-serving interests. They're the scammers, the masses are their mugu. Until we address systemic issues and demand accountability across all sectors, expecting salvation from any one group is just wishful thinking.

We also suffer from a chronic case of "the grass is greener on the other side." Just because a young military officer seizes political power doesn’t mean he has done or will do better than the civilian leaders we criticize. Have we paused to ask the everyday people of Burkina Faso how they truly feel after all the euphoria of "change" has settled?

Did they tell us that the jihadists—the threat that supposedly justified his coup—have been defeated in the two years he’s been in power? Have they said they are happier, safer, or more prosperous now? Or are they grappling with the same, if not worse, challenges?

But no, as Nigerians, we’ll just see a charismatic young man in military fatigues and instantly assume he’s the Messiah. This is dangerous romanticism.

Leadership, whether military or civilian, requires more than rhetoric or appearances. Without competence, accountability, and a genuine commitment to the people, power—regardless of who holds it—will only serve the same elite interests.
