Burkina Faso Seeks Path to Civilian Rule Amidst Security Concerns
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

Burkina Faso, a West African nation grappling with jihadist insurgency, is taking a crucial step towards civilian rule.

This weekend, a two-day national dialogue kicked off in the capital, Ouagadougou, led by the military junta currently in power. This dialogue comes amidst a complex situation – the junta itself emerged from coups in 2022, staged in response to the worsening security situation caused by jihadists linked to Al-Qaeda and the Islamic State.

What They Are Saying

The talks opened with a hopeful message from government minister Emile Zerbo, who emphasized unity. He called for putting aside differences to “write a new page in our history.” This sentiment reflects the urgency felt by many Burkinabes to find a path towards stability and democratic governance.

“That is why we must silence our quarrels to share the wealth of our diversity, to protect what is essential and write a new page in our history,” Zerbo said.

The military’s presence at the helm is a point of contention. While they justify their rule by citing the security crisis, a previous national dialogue did establish a roadmap for a 21-month transition back to civilian rule. However, with this deadline looming in July 2024, junta leader Captain Ibrahim Traore has expressed concerns about holding elections in such a volatile security environment.

Why It Matters

The participant list for this weekend’s dialogue is also noteworthy. Representatives from civil society, security forces, and the transitional assembly are included, but the participation of political parties remains unclear. This raises questions about the inclusivity of the process.

Key issues on the table include the potential extension of the transitional period, with some proposing a delay of up to three and a half years. Additionally, the eligibility of Captain Traore himself to run in any future elections is a point of debate.

Bottom Line

Burkina Faso’s path forward remains uncertain. This national dialogue presents an opportunity to carve out a future through compromise and a focus on national well-being. Whether all stakeholders will be willing to participate and find common ground will be crucial in determining the success of these talks.
