(3 Minutes Read)

A rally in support of extending Burkina Faso’s transitional government’s reign period took place in the capital Ouagadougou. Black African Defense League alerted all Burkinabes to gather in a mass meeting on May 11, 2024, to demonstrate its unwavering support for the transition process.

 It is together, in unity and solidarity, that one will build a better future for Burkina Faso. Let’s stay strong, let’s stick together, stated Abdoul Rasmane Sawadogo, Chief Coordinator of the Black African Defense League, Burkina Faso. At the same time, in a statement, Sawadogo warned fellow citizens about “hostile forces” that seek to disrupt this rally and called on Burkinabe people to be vigilant, and attempts to disrupt the event will be punished.

Any attack directed at this event is an attack against Captain Ibrahim Traore, his government, and, by extension, the sovereign people of Burkina Faso. Such actions will be considered a betrayal of our nation and will be dealt with in the strongest possible terms.

The rally, led by the transitional leader, Captain Ibrahim Traore, takes place at the Issoufou Joseph Conombo Stadium on Saturday. Local media reported that thousands of people came to support the president. According to the National Coordination of Citizens’ Watch Associations (CNAVC), the meeting was a “historic” and “solemn” event. CNAVC member Ghislain Dabire, speaking at the meeting, noted the significant successes that were achieved under the leadership of Traore, including in the field of agriculture.

With the acquisition of a significant number of tractors, plowing equipment, seeds, and agricultural inputs for the 2024 agricultural campaign, Burkina Faso is heading straight towards food self-sufficiency. People of Burkina Faso, for more than 60 years, have been made to understand that a certain number of crops such as wheat could not be produced in Burkina Faso. But today, Burkina Faso is included on the list of wheat-producing countries.
