On Wednesday, February 11, 2026, Burkina Faso made headlines across Africa after launching a bold anti-corruption initiative known as “Camera Corag.”

Hidden cameras were used to record public officials allegedly soliciting or accepting bribes. The footage was broadcast on national television as part of a zero-tolerance strategy aimed at restoring transparency and accountability in public administration.

Supporters say corruption has long delayed development, weakened healthcare systems, slowed infrastructure projects, and deprived African citizens of opportunities. They argue that strong and visible action is necessary to end impunity.
