Burkina Faso/Easter: President Ibrahim TRAORE’s wishes for his country
During the Easter celebrations, which mark the resurrection of Jesus Christ for Christians, the transitional President and Head of State, Captain Ibrahim Traore, conveyed heartfelt wishes for his country, Burkina Faso. These wishes have been close to his heart since assuming leadership of the nation.
His foremost desire is to see Burkina Faso thriving in security, peace, and stability, especially crucial in the face of ongoing security challenges and threats from imperialist and neo-colonialist forces.
Burkinabe citizens have staunchly united against these adversaries, striving for the reclamation of national territory, sovereignty, and dignity. In this context, seeking divine assistance through prayer remains vital.
President Traore urged fellow Christian compatriots to continually pray to the Almighty God for Burkina Faso’s restoration of security, stability, and peace, essential for its emergence and prosperity.
He emphasized the values of solidarity, sharing, and tolerance, promoting the collective building of a Burkina characterized by security, peace, and stability—a brighter future for the nation.
This presidential message resonates with the sentiments of the Burkinabe Catholic clergy.
Archbishop Prosper Kontiebo of Ouagadougou, during the Easter Mass, encouraged believers to maintain faith in God amidst these challenging times.
He expressed conviction that these hardships precede moments of joy, peace, and stability, akin to how the suffering and death of Jesus Christ led to glory and salvation for Christians.
Archbishop Kontiebo emphasized that hope, faith, and trust in God will ultimately prevail, triumphing over adversity.
