Burkina Faso / National solidarity against terrorism: The army and the population join forces in the fight

In the relentless battle against terrorism in Burkina Faso, the Burkinabe army has emerged as a crucial pillar. Under the leadership of Captain Ibrahim Traoré, concerted efforts have been deployed to strengthen the country’s security and mobilize the population in this crucial fight.

During a recent address on national television, the Minister Delegate in charge of security, Mahamadou Sana, made a fervent appeal to the population to actively participate in the «security co-production», emphasizing the crucial importance of reporting suspicious individuals and signaling concerning objects.

This strategy of cooperation between the security forces and citizens proves to be a powerful means of countering terrorist threats.

The minister also underscored the importance of vigilance, urging citizens to remain alert and fully support the efforts of the fighting forces.

By identifying and reporting suspicious behaviors, such as voluntary isolation and suspicious movements in neighborhoods, the population plays a vital role in protecting society from terrorist attacks.

In this fight against terrorism, every citizen is called upon to be an engaged actor, refusing to be manipulated or unwittingly become an accomplice to the destructive designs of terrorists.

By reporting suspicious activities, especially the transportation of items or funds potentially linked to terrorism financing, the population significantly contributes to the detection and neutralization of terrorist threats.

The collaboration between security forces and citizen watch groups has been hailed as an example of the effectiveness of this participative approach.

Thanks to this close cooperation, suspicious individuals have been apprehended, and legal actions have been initiated, demonstrating the power of unity in defense against terrorism.

The resolute commitment of the Burkinabe army in the fight against terrorism, supported by the active participation of the population, forms a strong bulwark against threats to national security.
