In Burkina Faso, after the appointment of 25 members of the Transition government, politicians agree that the place is made for technocrats. Corn “ it’s against the wall » that they will be judged. In a team where women and men of experience rub shoulders with novices, the Burkinabè are impatient to see them in action, especially for the reconquest of localities besieged by armed groups.
With our correspondent in Ouagadougou, Yaya Boudani
For Eddie Komboigo, the president of the Congress for Democracy and Progress, it is a government of technocrats and specialists which goes in the direction of the objectives targeted by the agenda of the Transition.
« General Bartholomew [Simporé] is back ; we have a new minister [Omer] Bationo, who is also a security and intelligence specialist. We believe that on these two points, if they are supported by our partners, they will achieve the results. We are waiting for them at the foot of the wall. If they go in the direction of the expectations of the people, we will support them and if it is the opposite, we will advise. »
Without calling into question the intrinsic skills of each member of the government, Mr. Benewendé Stanislas Sankara, the president of the Union for the Renaissance, a patriotic Sankarist movement, maintains that it is the bet of the reconquest of the localities under the control of armed groups and the return of displaced persons who will give credit to this new team.
« It is rather a government of technocrats for the most part. The Burkinabè want peace, security and development. But the management of state power to achieve these objectives is a different equation. »
Master Benewendé Sankara hopes that each member of this government will have the ingenuity and the humility to respond step by step to the many expectations of the Burkinabè.
