Burkina Faso: President makes it his priority to strengthen patriotism in the army

The Head of State, Captain Ibrahim Traoré, is deeply concerned about the active involvement and unwavering commitment of every Burkinabe soldier in serving their homeland. This can only be possible if these uniformed personnel are true patriots. Hence, promoting this value within the National Army is crucial.

As a reminder, some officers have been discharged from the army due to their misconduct, reflecting their dishonesty towards the nation.

To prevent such disloyal behavior and ensure that the defense and security forces prioritize the supreme interest of their country, promoting patriotism is essential for the transition authorities.

The baptismal name “Faso Kanu” given to the 2024 graduating class of active officer cadets at the end of their training by the transitional president demonstrates the desire of Burkina Faso’s highest authorities to instill, revive, or reinforce patriotism among the national armed forces.

It’s also a way to involve them more in the country’s liberation process.

According to reports, this name means ‘patriotism’ in the Dioula language. President Ibrahim Traoré believes that military personnel constitute the epitome of patriotism, someone who are willing to sacrifice for their homeland.

Only citizen who deeply love their country can defend it, regardless of the challenges or obstacles they face.

Captain Traoré is firmly committed to liberating his country from the hands of imperialists and neo-colonialists, and the national army must also play its part in ensuring that the country swiftly regains its full sovereignty.
