Ouagadougou: The Minister in charge of Communication Rimtalba Jean Emmanuel Ouédraogo regretted this Sunday evening on national television that Côte d’Ivoire is a rear base to destabilize Burkina Faso, which in his opinion , is not likely to consolidate relations between the two countries.

The Minister of State, Minister of Communication, Culture, Arts and Tourism Rimtalba Jean Emmanuel Ouédraogo was the guest this Sunday evening on the program “Sur la brèche” on national television.

He noted that “since the advent of MPSR 2 of Captain Ibrahim Traoré (September 30, 2022), no communication or action on the ground has been carried out by the government in the direction of the deterioration of relations with the Ivory Coast>>.

However, he estimated that “if this country (Ivory Coast) becomes the rear base of all those who tried to destabilize Burkina Faso, who take refuge in Ivory Coast and continue to carry out actions in a manner ostentatious without being disturbed>>, it is clear that.

For sev
eral months, a Front for the Defense of the Republic (FDR) opposed to the Transition has been formed in Côte d’Ivoire with journalist Inoussa Ouédraogo as spokesperson.

This front has since multiplied very critical statements towards the regime of President Ibrahim Traoré.

For Minister of State Jean Emmanuel Ouédraogo, for the government. ‘It looks like a comedy orchestrated from Ivory Coast by individuals who share their bitterness, their frustrations,’ he said.

He revealed that certain members of this Front “attempted approaches hoping for folding seats but these approaches did not succeed”. He expressed “feelings of compassion” for FDR spokesperson Inoussa Ouédraogo whom he described as “a sacrificial sheep”.
