Burkina Faso Foils Coup & Assassination Plot Targeting Junta Leader Traore | Firstpost Africa | N18G

Описание: Burkina Faso has thwarted a coup & an assassination attempt against junta leader Captain Ibrahim Traoré, planned for January 3. The plot allegedly aimed to destabilize the government, with former leader Paul-Henri Sandago Damiba orchestrating the attempt from exile in Togo. Officials report that funds were sourced from outside Burkina Faso, particularly Ivory Coast. Intelligence intercepted video discussions on targeting Traoré and other officials, alongside plans to disable military responses. Despite facing numerous assassination attempts since taking power in 2022, Traoré maintains strong support, particularly among youth, by enhancing national sovereignty and distancing from Western influence.
