“We hope that these pledges will have no impact on Burkina Faso’s sovereignty, secularism and independence. We oversee this kind of dialogue,” the Minister of State explained.

According to the minister, the move does not reflect the government’s acknowledgment of its incompetence in countering terrorism in any way. This is an attempt by the authorities to find Burkina Faso capable of reconciling.

So this dialogue will take place in the villages, especially in areas with strong security challenges where the militants have already expressed the need to talk to their leaders. Managers who consider themselves trustworthy, capable of making commitments and respecting them.
