Breaking! Burkina Faso Military Says It Has Seized Power by Stone123(m): 7:22pm On Jan 24, 2022 |
The military in Burkina Faso says it has seized power and overthrown President Roch Kaboré. The announcement was made on state television by an army officer, who said both the government and parliament had been dissolved. Mr Kaboré's whereabouts are unclear, but the officer said that all those detained were in a secure location. The coup comes a day after troops seized barracks, and gunshots were heard in the capital. Earlier, the ruling People's Movement for Progress (PMP) party said that both Mr Kaboré and a government minister had survived an assassination attempt. On Sunday, mutinying troops demanded the sacking of military chiefs and more resources to fight Islamist militants. The army statement cited the worsening security situation and Mr Kabore's alleged inability to unite the nation as reasons for overthrowing him, AFP news agency reports.

The moment this president started trying those who killed Thomas Sankara in court, I knew he was going to have problem if he doesn’t watch his back. Now they’ve taken him out. I see the hand of France in this coup because the trial of Thomas Sankara murderers would have revealed a lot of France’s dirty involvement. European countries should stop this neo-colonialism and let African countries be for goodness sake. 2 Likes |

The president should also step down as the masses are against him. Imagine someone that majority of people are protesting against and still instructing the security officers to use brutal force even for the fact that the demands for the protest are genuine. Instead of the officers to follow his instructions, they turned against him instead. Karma is a bitch |

Kosoco:Nothing worse than someone in deep shit but decides not to try something new. What is your problem with the revolution? Was Burkina Faso working before? Every time there is a change to the normal pitiful existence of black Africans, motivational speakers will rise to discourage the change. |

BKayy: Very good response. I have been reading a lot of crap here about how democracy is being messed up in West Africa bla bla bla bla. Is there any part of French West Africa that is democratic? Their governments are imposed by France. Colonialism is still on in these French speaking countries. Their fiscal and monetary policies are decided in France. Former french soldiers of West African descent are made presidents of their countries through spurious coups irrespective of the quality of education or knowledge. Gbagbo was removed because France disputed his elections results. But Quattarra imposed by France is now doing a third term! It's all about looting these countries bare. Thier mineral resources are looted totally by french cooperations. Now done of these countries are fighting to free themselves. Trying to extricate themselves from french imperialism and ECOWAS is using the stupid arguments about democracy to defend the interest of France. It's sickening. I just hope that the leaders of these coups are more like Thomas Sankara and not like Campoare or Biya or Eyadema.. There are no success stories in French west Africa. All are basket cases. France is terrorizing these countries. 1 Like |

But wait how did my comment amount to Motivational speaking.... so many people wallowing in ignorance or should I say youths that can't think.... do you know what an Axis of evil is... How is Coup d Et'at a yardstick to measure change in or new thing. Evaluate yourself Man. |

owobokiri:Sometimes I wonder between France and Britain which one is more Shameless. These two countries literally live off Africa and they cunningly use our idiocy against us to tie us down. That idiocy is our stupid longing to be seen as civilised people by them. As a practicing business oriented Igbo man, I will tell you the truth that the hardest person to deceive is someone that doesn't want to be seen as smart by anybody no matter his/her initial level of ignorance or smartness. They always use it against us because we don't care to read their own history, how all of them freed themselves from Roman Empire which was the most civilised at their own time. Their ancestors acted like mad people and that madness is what their children are enjoying today. Look at Congo, the country blessed by God himself. A country that owns 90 percent of the resource of the future dying in poverty, instability and chaos just to satisfy European citizens undying quest to enjoy where they did not sow.

Kosoco:The time Britain rebelled against Roman Empire (AD 43-84), people said that rebellion is outdated, undemocratic and uncivilised manner of fighting for anything. Some asked why they didn't table it at Roman Court at Rome. Sounds familiar? Yes, because it is exactly like Biafra and British controlled Nigeria. We are like this in Africa because we fail to ask questions, we fail to research and we fail to read the history of the people deceiving us. |

BKayy:Almost 6 million people killed in Congo because of her enermous minerals. Kabila killed because he refused to allow the multi nationals run riot. Today, western multi national companies fly directly into eastern Congo to loot everything in sight. They barely pay any royalties to the central government and if the Central government asks questions, a coup or an assassination happens. Africans don't understand the enermousity of western imperialistic agenda in this continent. |
