  1. HELLO AL JAZEERA ,WHY HAS AL JAZEERA CHOSEN TO SPREAD OLD AND OUTDATED NEWS OR HAS CHOSEN TO SPREAD FAKE AND PREJUDICIAL LIES WHEN REFERRING TO THE PRESIDENT OF BURKINA FASO IBRAHIM TRAORE AS LEADER OF A MILITARY JUNTA WHILE AVOID MENTIONING THAT HE IS PRESIDENT TRAORE ? NOT A GOOD LOOK FOR YOU AL JAZEERA…

  2. It begins, 5 years from now it will be extended and pretty much a de facto dictatorship. Fast forward 15-20 years, people rejoice when another "savior" overtakes his government and the process starts all over again. WELCOME TO AFRICA

  3. He will stay in power for the rest of his life, because he is working for the people of Bokina faso and not for the West. Long Live President IB for life.

  4. When he said ivory coast, Benin and Togo are watching. He meant France is watching and using these countries telling them terrorists are coming from Burkina faso. Who os arming these terrorists? That is why Niger closed ots borders to Benin which has Frnch soldiers . I am glad we dont take news from the western countries media puppets any more. What a hoatile news reporter. I hope ap jazerah os kicked out of Senegal

  5. Africa we are tired of your narrative 😴. your news is always we need peace, democracy and human rights as you plumber our natural resources

  6. Democracy doesn't work in Africa. we elect puppets who steal in the name of democracy. you cannot talk about democracy when the country's intelligence and corruption agencies are controlled by the president.

  7. WE BELEIVE YOU SPREADING FAKE NEWS! IT'S TIME FOR CHANGE, LOOK AT YOU & then LOOK AT YOU! I didn't see anyone that look like IBRAHIM TRAORE in your segment to give this footage CREDIBILITY! DON'T BELEIVE THE HYPE……

  8. I did not know that Al
    Jazeera was also moving like BBC … what a bunch of liars … and they showing footage from 2021 …Ibrahim Traore has done far better in one year than the whole group of democratic elected individuals … Also he is fixing the mess left by your friends

  9. Democracy is the will of the people! Democracy is not voting, elections, term limits, and politicians, they are simply tools and or vehicles of democracy! What just happened in Burkina Faso is true democracy, for it was the will and desire of the Burkinabe people that Abrahim Traore remain in power as Head of State for an additional 60 (5 years) months! You are so grossly predictable in your disdain for Afrika and Afrika's agency, autonomy, and independence you cant help yourself!!

  10. This report and both reporters are liars and lying! Stop the lies and propaganda! President Traore is loved by his people and that is because the Burkinabe people loves him, and they love him because he has proven himself to be a committed, dedicated, wise, and capable ruler dedicated to bringing security, good health, wealth and good governance, undependence, liberation and sovereignty to Burkina Faso!! Not surprise by this misinformed and inaccurate reporting. Just know your time of fooling the Afrikan world is over!! What nonsense!
