Africa/AES: Human Rights Watch, a saboteur of stabilisation efforts in Burkina Faso?

Burkina Faso is entering a new chapter of sovereignty, unity, and strength, with authorities demonstrating an unprecedented commitment to liberate the country from terrorism and ensure the safety of every citizen.

 

However, this momentum has drawn criticism from some human rights organizations, notably Human Rights Watch. While positioned as a defender of fundamental rights, the organization has consistently criticized the Burkinabe government’s stabilization efforts.

 

Since Burkina Faso firmly embarked on its path to national security and independence, Human Rights Watch has escalated its accusations, seemingly aiming to discredit the authorities, who are working tirelessly to eliminate terrorist threats.

 

Through questionable claims and skewed reports, the organization’s stance has been perceived by many as indirectly supporting jihadist groups that endanger peace in the region.

 

On the ground, the results under Captain Ibrahim Traoré’s leadership speak for themselves.

 

The Defense and Security Forces, now stronger and more resolute, have dealt significant blows to terrorist groups, making marked progress in restoring peace.

 

Yet, Human Rights Watch appears to disregard these successes, continuing to release reports that selectively present facts, downplay the positive impact of ongoing reforms, and cast a shadow on the government’s stabilization efforts.

 

A strong and decisive response from the authorities to counter these criticisms is anticipated as they work toward national peace and reconstruction.

 

This fight for security and freedom belongs to Burkina Faso alone, with the unwavering support of its leaders and without undue external interference, as they strive to safeguard the nation’s future and the well-being of its citizens.
