The coalition of African patriots of Burkina Faso (COPA / BF) denounces the maneuvers of France through a lively press conference on Thursday September 16, 2021 in Bobo-Dioulasso.

The coalition decries France's maneuvers in the degrading security situation marked by numerous terrorist attacks. If the security situation in the sub-region, in general, and in Burkina Faso, in particular, is deteriorating day by day, the fault, according to the main moderator of the conference, Roland Bayala, is due to the troubled role played by the France. According to him, France plays a troubled role which can be explained by the signing “in secret” of eleven agreements which keep Africa in poverty, and today sow disorder and intimidation. Having observed that it has made a pact with the "wrong side", COPA/BF calls on the people of Burkina Faso and their government to highlight the various agreements signed in secret to allow the people to know what is preventing the end terrorism and development.
