Burkina Faso : Ibrahim Traoré met la justice sous pression
Since coming to power in September 2022, Captain Ibrahim Traoré appears to be tightening his grip on the judicial institutions in Burkina Faso. Several magistrates have recently been dismissed or sanctioned, while journalists and media directors have been arrested, some remaining in detention for several days before their release.
According to observers, these measures are part of a broader effort to reform the judicial system, which is considered slow and unequal. The regime claims it wants to punish judges "caught in the act," but these actions raise concerns about judicial independence and press freedom.
Burkina Faso is also experiencing a period of security instability, with persistent terrorist threats. In this context, the military justifies certain measures as necessary for the country's stability. However, human rights organizations are calling for caution and respect for judicial institutions.
The situation remains closely monitored by the international community, which stresses the importance of preserving the rule of law and fundamental freedoms in the country.
