This is as the 36-year-old President – often called the modern day Gaddafi for his pan-African stance – foiled yet another coup plot to assassinate him and pave the way for western stooges to once again grab power for the foreign powers return to control that once brought the country down to its kneel for many years before Traore eventually made it to office, though via a coup but more desirously patriotic one.
The DEFENDER reports that the military government announced the arrest of a senior Army commander and several accomplices over what it described as “extremely serious acts” threatening national security and cohesion within the armed forces.
A statement issued by the Presidency of Burkina Faso on Monday April 20, 2025 said Commander Elysé Tassembedo of the 12th Commando Infantry Regiment was taken into custody alongside other officers accused of actions that endanger stability of the country and unity of the military.
The government said investigations were ongoing to apprehend other suspects linked to the plot.
The development has reportedly triggered unrest in some military barracks across the country, with signs of discontent among a section of soldiers, which authorities described as attempts by “a misguided minority” to destabilise the country.
President Ibrahim Traore, who is also the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, issued a stern warning, declaring that any soldier complicit in acts that undermine the state would be treated as an enemy of the nation and will be dealt with, decisively.
“In consequence, all heads of military units are hereby ordered to immediately report to Ouagadougou for a high-level meeting,” the statement read.
It added that any senior officer or unit commander who fails to comply with the summons will be dismissed from the ranks of the National Armed Forces.
The president urged all soldiers to remain vigilant, disciplined and loyal to the Burkinabe people, reaffirming the government’s commitment to preserving national security and order.
The incident marks a fresh wave of tension within Burkina Faso’s military, following recent internal divisions and strained relations among top officers since the 2022 coup that brought Traore to power.
This global online newspaper reports that a video clip detailing what happened showed that a very close ally of President Ibrahim Traore was complicit in the latest coup incident and that the President has ended the attempt connival with foreign agents to undermine the integrity, security and sovereignty of the country.
But he vowed that he would not kneel for any foreign power to sell his country not even for dollars of any weight or promises.
