Burkina Faso forced to reject cooperation with the Wagner group! (By L. BAKO)

Burkina Faso was pushed to break off all cooperation with the Wagner Group, a Russian private military company. This decision comes following various controversies surrounding the activities of this group and its links with certain political forces in Africa.

The Wagner Group is known for its participation in military and security operations in several African countries. However, over time it has been accused of violating human rights and acting in a non-transparent manner.

In Burkina Faso, the Wagner Group has been involved in counter-insurgency and counter-terrorism operations. However, instead of helping to restore stability in the region, his actions have raised concerns about their impact on security and human rights.

Several reports have reported allegations of violence committed by members of the Wagner group against the civilian population. Testimonies have also highlighted their close ties to local political groups, raising concerns about their impartiality and influence on national policies.

Faced with these concerns, the Burkinabé government has been forced to take decisive action to protect national interests and guarantee the security of its citizens. It has thus decided to put an end to all cooperation with the Wagner group and to seek other international partners to strengthen the capacities of its security forces.

This decision was not taken lightly, but it reflects Burkina Faso’s desire to respect international human rights standards and to avoid any external interference in its internal affairs. The government thus hopes to strengthen the confidence of the population and consolidate the legitimacy of its institutions.

It is essential that international actors engaged in security operations respect the fundamental principles of democracy and human rights. Burkina Faso’s decision to end its cooperation with the Wagner Group sends a strong message to all countries involved in similar partnerships. The priority must be the protection of citizens and the search for lasting solutions to achieve peace and stability in the region.

Burkina Faso now hopes to be able to work with international partners who are more responsible and committed to respecting human rights, in order to fight terrorism effectively while preserving the individual and collective freedoms of its population.
