A rally in support of extending Burkina Faso’s transitional government’s reign period took place in the capital Ouagadougou on Saturday.
The rally, led by the transitional leader, Captain Ibrahim Traore, takes place at the Issoufou Joseph Conombo Stadium as thousands of people came to support the president, Sputnik reported.
According to the National Coordination of Citizens’ Watch Associations (CNAVC), the meeting should be a “historic” and “solemn” event.
CNAVC member Ghislain Dabire, speaking at the meeting, noted the significant successes that were achieved under the leadership of Traore, including in the field of agriculture.
“With the acquisition of a significant number of tractors, plowing equipment, seeds and agricultural inputs for the 2024 agricultural campaign, Burkina Faso is heading straight towards food self-sufficiency. People of Burkina Faso, for more than 60 years, we have long been made to understand that a certain number of crops such as wheat could not be produced in Burkina Faso. But today, with Captain Ibrahim Traore, Burkina Faso is included on the list of wheat producing countries,” he was quoted as saying by local media.
He also reportedly underlined the country’s successes in international relations, mentioning the creation of the Alliance of Sahel States.
Last September, Ouagadougou also saw a big support of Traore when thousands of demonstrators took to the streets, waving, just like this time, Burkinabe and Russian flags.
