Burkina Faso transition: Junta leader's term extended by five years

Burkina Faso's military leader will remain in power until 2029.
Ibrahim Traore was due to hand over leadership to a civilian government in July.
But a new charter has extended the transitional period by another five years.
Traore assumed power after staging a coup in 2022.
He has repeatedly warned that holding elections would be difficult, because of the security challenges.
Around half of Burkina Faso's territory remains outside of government control.

Al Jazeera’s Nicholas Haque has the latest in Dakar, Senegal.

Stop with democracy..even Saudi, Qatar, UAE didnt need democracy..Burkina Faso is in good hand now..As long as Ibrahim do his job and making progress..

[tchamola]

He is doing very well than puppets and the people loves him

[salvamuhinda]

Why there's always negativity agenda against good leadership in Africa?

[daemonvelaryon]

I want him in power, this man is a god send.

[globalSentry]

Why so negative without knowing the situation. These groups only increased activity after 'France' left. Also, they started appearing when France increased it's military presence. Who funds these groups with weapons and food?. Definitely not Traore's government. Also, are there elections in Qatar and Emirates?

[AbdoulieCamara-nw]

He should extend it to ten years. The man is doing well.

[MB-idun]

Democracy is the reason this world is in Chaos 😂

[Afrikafricans]

Come and see yourself if the situation is deteriorating, I’m in Burkina Faso and my country has never been as safe like now since the beginning of this terrorism crisis and under old regimes. My president wouldn’t get 5 more years if he wasn’t working and if we were not seeing improvements. If you know someone in Burkina Faso ask him how the situation is right now. And many of us wanted 10 years for him but unfortunately he got only 5 years.
Whenever you decide to kick France or USA out, wait for these kinds of propagandas on corrupted news channels.

[ramatgan]

Why is this arab AJE channel so against Africa?
Is there democracy or elections in Qatar?
Watching from Somalia.

[fredo]

When will foreign media speak anything positive about Africa?

[ade]

A few weeks ago, tens of thousands of Burkinabes rallied to demand something they were calling IB2050. Their enthusiasm for this demand seemed like something Traore could not resist. Today I am disappointed that he did not meet the demand for their so called IB2050.😥
