The junta, led by Ibrahim Traore, seized power in September 2022, ousting the previous military regime. Despite promising to address the country's security challenges, the junta has struggled to contain the growing threat posed by extremist groups linked to al-Qaida and the Islamic State.
The ongoing instability in Burkina Faso has led to widespread displacement, with millions of people forced to flee their homes. The country's fragile security situation and political uncertainty have raised concerns among the international community.
The junta's decision to extend its transition period and sever ties with regional and international partners has further isolated the country. As the new government takes office, it faces the daunting task of restoring stability and addressing the pressing security challenges that continue to plague the nation. (ILKHA)
