Burkina Faso’s Captain Ibrahim Traore survives second coup attempt in one month!

On Wednesday, September 27, 2023, Burkina Faso’s military government announced on state television that it had foiled yet another coup attempt against junta leader Captain Ibrahim Traore. In a statement read out on state TV on Wednesday evening, junta spokesman Rimtalba Jean Emmanuel Ouedraogo disclosed that the nation’s security and intelligence services had thwarted a serious coup attempt the previous day on Tuesday, September 26, 2023. The military spokesman disclosed that officers and others had plotted to destabilise the country with “the dark intention of attacking the institutions of the Republic and plunging our country in chaos.“ The statement did not provide specifics on who was behind the failed coup attempt and how it unfolded but ended by disclosing that some arrests had been made and searches continued for others. Later on, the military prosecutor revealed specifically that four persons had been detained and two others were on the run in connection with the failed coup attempts. The prosecutor also announced that the junta had opened an investigation based on “credible allegations about a plot against state security implicating officers.“ It must be recalled that on Monday, September 25, 2023, the junta suspended French news magazine Jeune Afrique for publishing “untruthful“ articles that reported tension and discontent within Burkina Faso’s armed forces, amid rumblings of internal mutiny in the country’s army. The following day, thousands of pro-junta protesters took to the streets of the nation’s capital Ouagadougou and other locations to register their support for the junta after rumours of the impending uprising against the authorities circulated on social media. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ✅SUPPORT US /AFFILIATE LINKS Use this affiliate link for your purchases at #MIZIZI International - Support our channel - PayPal: newafricachannel(at) Follow us on Instagram - Follow us on Twitter - Join us on Facebook - ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ✅COPYRIGHT DISCLAIMER The New Africa Channel doesn’t fully own some of the materials compiled in its videos.
