Burkina Faso’s military leaders declared a significant victory on Wednesday as they successfully stopped an attempted coup just a day prior, giving credit to the hard work of their security and intelligence forces.
While precise details about the incident remain undisclosed, the military authorities revealed their suspicions that certain officers and individuals had conspired to disrupt the nation, aiming to attack its institutions and plunge the country into turmoil.
Though the identities of those involved were not revealed, the junta confirmed that several arrests had already been made, with ongoing efforts to locate other potential conspirators. They made it clear that their investigations would uncover the masterminds behind this destabilizing scheme.
According to the military, four have been taken into custody, while two remain at large. The investigation was launched based on credible reports of a plot against the nation’s security involving officers.
