The Transition Government of Burkina Faso has sharply reacted to the statement of the ECOWAS Commission expressing concern about the deteriorating security situation in its country. The government emphasized the undeniable victories achieved by Burkinabe forces in reclaiming national territory and the ongoing efforts against terrorist groups.
The ECOWAS Commission accused the Transition authorities of engaging in repressive actions, including the arrest of political and civil society figures and an alleged illegal and arbitrary requisition procedure suppressing freedom of expression. The Burkina Faso government strongly refutes these allegations, asserting its adherence to legal procedures in the fight against terrorism. Burkina Faso authorities also criticized what it perceives as the Commission’s complacency towards countries supporting terrorists.
