How Coup Attempt Was Foiled In Burkina Faso | READ DETAILS
Burkina Faso’s Intelligence and Security Services, on Tuesday, foiled a coup d’etat attempt by some army officers and others who intend to seize power from the present military rulers in the country.
According to a statement on Wednesday by the spokesman for the ruling military, Rimtalba Jean Emmanuel Ouedraogo, some of the coup planners who allegedly intended to plunge the country into chaos, have been arrested.
“Officers and other alleged actors involved in this attempt at destabilisation have been arrested and others are actively sought,” Ouedraogo said.
The military government said it would seek to shed “all possible light on this plot” and that it regretted “that officers whose oath is to defend their homeland have strayed into an undertaking of this nature”.
The country’s military prosecutor later said that four people had been arrested and two were on the run. An investigation has been opened based on “credible allegations about a plot against state security implicating officers”, the prosecutor said.
Earlier this month, the military prosecutor said three soldiers had been arrested and charged with plotting against the ruling military government of Captain Ibrahim Traore who seized power in September 2022, eight months after an earlier military coup had overthrown the democratically elected President Roch Marc Kabore.
