Rally for junta after alleged coup plot bust
Sunday Tribune
|May 04, 2025
SEVERAL thousand people rallied in support of Burkina Faso's junta on Wednesday, days after the military rulers said they had uncovered a "plot" to overthrow the government.
-
Demonstrators carried giant posters of junta leader Captain Ibrahim Traore and Burkinabe and Russian flags in one of the biggest rallies since Traore seized power in a coup in September 2022.
With placards bearing slogans such as: "Down with imperialism and its local lackeys" and "Full support for President Ibrahim Traore and the people of Burkina Faso", people gathered in a central square in the capital, Ouagadougou.
On April 21, the junta claimed to have undone a "major plot" planned in neighbouring Ivory Coast. Several top army officials were arrested. Traore has regularly accused Ivory Coast of harbouring his opponents, allegations its neighbour rejects.
