The opposition parties suspended their participation in the political dialogue launched by President Kaboré and announced marches at the end of this week to condemn the insecurity and demand the resignation of the head of government and the defense minister. To calm the situation, President Roch Marc Christian Kaboré spoke with his countrymen in the public media.
as reported from Ouagadougou, Yaya Boudani
The President of Faso calls on Burkinabè to unite against terrorism and calls on political parties and other civil society organizations to return to dialogue. He promises to take appropriate action required by the current situation in the country.
In the face of the anger of the people, he calls for unity in Burkinabè. He asks his countrymen to show restraint and not compromise with the future in the face of the fragility of the situation.
“Neither the marches nor the insidious posts on social networks will make it possible to overcome terrorism. That is why I urge all those who organize in this direction to postpone the planned marches and meetings so as not to create the bed for our division in the face of the common enemy. We must continue the political dialogue to refine our political consensus on all issues of national interest, especially those related to security, he said.
After the upswing and the violence of the attacks against the people and the defense and security forces, the President of Faso promises appropriate measures to improve the intervention capacity of the Burkinabè forces on the ground. It is necessary, he explains, “to adapt our strategy to the new realities on the ground by examining the doctrine of hiring volunteers to defend the fatherland and by improving the speed of intervention for air and land operations conducted by our troops. Consolidate the unit, efficiency and the cohesion of the command with respect for military discipline, which has always been the strength of the armed forces. “
According to the president of Faso, Burkinabè should not doubt their ability to defeat the enemy.
