THIS JUST IN – On the eve of the launching of the transitional charter to usher in a new leader to head the country’s transition to civilian rule, a group of mostly motor bike riders went on a demonstration to short-circuit the process for the young military leader to remain in power.
Shutting down commercial activities in the southwestern city of Bobo-Dioulasso and parts of capital Ouagadougou, the demonstrators demanded that the process stops and Captain Ibrahim Traore to remain in power.
It is not clear who is behind the demonstration, and so far, no identifiable group has claimed to e behind it. But the banners and the T-Shirts called for Captain Traore to remain in power.
On October 2, 2022, Captain Traore declared famously that soldiers have no place in the presidential palace, and that they belonged in the barracks.
Last week, the young leader kept his word and announced that a transitional charter will be launched on October 14, 2022 to designate a new leader who will lead the transitional process back to civilian rule.
So far, there have been no reports of violence of police encounters.
