🇧🇫The imperialist planned do a Venezuelan part 2 in Burkina Faso yesterday. This was organised by the previous failed leader Paul-Henri Damiba and his imperialists master.

The plan was similar to the one they executed under Sankara, to kill all the inner circle of Ibrahim Traore.

Needless to say the plans failed miserably. The Burkinabe people were having none of it, and the potters were all arrested.

Burkina Faso has gone all in with the construction of a 332km 8-lane dual-carriageway which will connect cities of Ouagadougou -Bobo-Dioulasso. All the $357 million funds will come from the state not a single coin will be borrowed.

Just like any other projects, Burkina Faso has maintained Ibrahim Traore's policy of purchasing their own equipment and empowering the citizens (engineers) in this project as well. It's 100% Burkinabè work.

🇧🇫 British media finally got to Burkina Faso, and the answers weren't what they were looking for.

Ibrahim Traore, president and leader of the revolution, sat down with Sky News. The journalist came loaded with gotcha questions. He had no problem answering them.

On Russian support he said:

"Indeed, Russian President Vladimir Putin wanted to provide us with all the necessary resources to fight terrorism, including military personnel. But I have always said: we are Burkina Faso. No one will come to fight for us, and that is a non-negotiable principle."

HUMAN RIGHTS PROMOTION: Captain Ibrahim TRAORÉ “Humanizes” the Baporo Penitentiary Center

(Baporo, April 22, 2026). In the contemporary history of Burkina Faso, this is a first. In Africa and the rest of the world, it is an extremely rare act, according to the penitentiary administration. A sitting Head of State visiting a prison. Captain Ibrahim TRAORÉ did just that on April 22, 2026. En route to Bobo-Dioulasso as part of the 22nd edition of the National Culture Week (SNC), the President of Faso, Head of State, His Excellency Captain Ibrahim TRAORÉ made a stop at the Baporo Agricultural Penitentiary Center (CPAB) in the Sanguié province, Nando region.

It is an open-regime prison where inmates engage in agricultural and pastoral production activities.

At the start of the visit, a 40-hectare corn field operated by the inmates during the dry season was presented to the Head of State, who seized the opportunity to outline his vision for the prison system: “The prison must be humane. We are a society; we are not barbarians, we are not violent. We are an African society, and in Africa, respect for the human person is something intimately linked to us. So, no matter the situation a person finds themselves in, they must have a minimum of respect,” emphasized the Head of State.

According to the President of Faso, the introduction of Community Service Sentences (TIG) aligns with the vision of enabling inmates to work for the Nation, train, and learn a trade. “We do not want our prisons to resemble those of the imperialists. We have decided to humanize our prisons (…) and we will reduce the number of our prisons and concentrate them in production areas like this one,” stated Captain Ibrahim TRAORÉ.

The Head of State urged the inmates to stay motivated and to learn. “The Ministry in charge of Justice will support you so that you become model citizens of tomorrow,” reassured the Head of State.

A Modern R+1 Building for CPAB Inmates

In Baporo, the humanization of prisons in line with the Head of State’s vision is already taking shape with the construction of an R+1 building. According to Justice Minister Rodrigue Edasso BAYALA, the building, costing approximately 500 million FCFA, includes all amenities to preserve human dignity in detention. With a capacity of 500 places, this facility will increase the center’s hosting capacity and significantly improve detention conditions for better inmate productivity.

“We say thank you to the Comrade President of Faso for all his benefits to our country. We also thank him for adopting the TIG law, which allows us to work, stay healthy, and reduce our sentences. It is a great favor for us inmates,” acknowledged the representative of the CPAB inmates.

As an agricultural vocational penitentiary center, the CPAB produced 240 tons in 2025, and for 2026, the center aims to cultivate over 300 hectares for an expected production of 782.5 tons.

This stopover will be etched in golden letters in the memory of the inmates and staff of this open-air detention center, established in 1986 under the leadership of Captain Thomas SANKARA.

Burkina Faso’s government under President Ibrahim Traoré has shut down all laboratories involved in a controversial genetically modified mosquito project, ordering the destruction of remaining samples and halting over a decade of research.

The project, known as Target Malaria, involved releasing gene-edited mosquitoes into the wild to combat malaria. It had been operating in the country since 2012 and had just received regulatory approval from Burkina Faso’s biosafety authorities weeks earlier.

However, the government acted after strong public opposition, stating that the people of Burkina Faso had not consented to their country being used as a testing ground for Western biotechnology experiments.

The modified mosquitoes were being developed in laboratories in the United States, Italy, and the United Kingdom.
