The state will take effect from April 29 at midnight until October 29 at 23:59 p.m. Officially, this extension aims "to strengthen and consolidate the fight against insecurity," Justice Minister Bibata Nebié Ouedraogo told the transitional parliament.
The objective for this country, which was the scene of two military coups in 2022 and now led by Captain Ibrahim Traoré, is to face the recurring deadly assaults of jihadists. Since 2015, Burkina Faso has been caught in a spiral of jihadist violence that has continued to increase.
