A power struggle in West Africa intensifies as an assassination plot against Burkina Faso’s leader, Ibrahim Traoré, unfolds. Former president Paul-Henri Sandaogo Damiba, accused of masterminding the attack, was arrested in Togo and reportedly sent back to Burkina Faso. The plan aimed to assassinate Traoré, eliminate senior junta leaders, and disable a key drone base, originating from abroad, but was thwarted before execution. A senior air force officer confessed to involvement, allegedly receiving funds for the coup, with some financing traced back to Ivory Coast, which denies involvement. Arrests continue as Burkina Faso claims the threat is neutralised, yet risks linger.

Good luck Traore
Why first post Africa news starts with western news first ah?
Africa is a self sustainable continent and the white people have plundered it unending. Africa doesn't need America and the collective West. Africa must reduce creating ties with every country.
God will always protect Ibrahim traore and his people in the country 🙏 ❤
President Traore is the hope of Africa. Anyone who is out to kill him shall get the death sentences.
Great Reporting very nice Duval county
If the Mbororos allows themselves to be the tools of oppression, then they will have themselves to be blamed. It's a war they started and can't win just like LRC
Burkina Faso Present Leader did his best to protect his People and Country against Colonialis France whom stole/exploit all Natural Resources specially URANIUM and Gold. Hurray Ibrahim Traore. Almighty God, Your People Protect you.
I'm very happy to hear about the extradition of Damiba. We need to overthrow the administration in Ivory Coast next. We need to find Blaise Compaore and have him extradited also.
Gud movement Russian African love Russian peoples❤
Shame Damiba
It seems Traores assassination is drama
If they are bring Damiba why not first Campaour who killed Thomas Sankara, hypocrisy, brain washed and manipulated ECOWAS.
This presenter is a liar. He got western mind alot! Firstpost is only about Palki. The old lady use to present African firstpost was not lying as much as this guy😂
Can Africa be left alone to make their own decision in who they partner with, we are free people like every elsewhere, why is the West behaving as if they have the right in dictating to the world in what to do or who others should partner with.
God sees all the I justices against smaller nations and He is about to bring His justice to the oppressed.
Those who think they are above God will soon face the wrath of God.
How he got all that money 💰 probably from America 🇺🇸 also i believe.

Tarore is dedicated in developing his country and the countries that flourished on B.Farso wealth will never stop this. By hook or by crook they will want this leader terminated. They will never succeed, just day dreams. May the Triple Gem bless the president Tarore. I am Sri Lankan
Plea the blood of Jesus over Traore, his enemies shall not succeed.
The west does not love Africans but love their earth's resources. The western presidents are evil men. Africans needs to control their own resources and fight the west at all cost.

Does this remind anyone of Gaddafi?
Damiba is an enemy of stability in his own country.
