“It is not the severance of relations with France. The notification only concerns military cooperation agreements,” she said.

On Tuesday, the transitional president, Captain Ibrahim Traoré, who came to power in a putsch at the end of September, the second in eight months, told students that the “fight for sovereignty” was “committed”.

The authorities of Burkina have recently expressed their desire to diversify their partnerships, particularly in the fight against jihadism, which has undermined this country since 2015.

Captain Ibrahim Traoré has set himself the objective of “recapturing the territory occupied by these hordes of terrorists”.

On Thursday, Burkina Faso was bereaved by a series of attacks in several regions of the north and north-west of the country, killing around thirty people, including around fifteen Homeland Defense Volunteers (VDP), auxiliaries of the army.

Among the new partners envisaged by Ouagadougou, the question of a possible rapprochement with Russia is regularly raised.
