Burkina Faso says military rule may extend for another five years
BURKINA FASO’S military leadership may stay in place for the next five years, according to a charter agreed at the weekend.
Colonel Moussa Diallo, who chaired the organising committee of a “national dialogue process,” said: “The duration of the transition [to an elected government] is fixed at 60 months from July 2, 2024.”
The dialogue in Ouagadougou involved civil society representatives, security and military officials and legislators in the transitional assembly, itself composed of representatives from different sectors as well as traditional and religious leaders.
