Burkina Faso’s interim President, Captain Ibrahim Traoré has been popular among younger Africans because of his ability to face problems and challenge Africa’s old presidents, as seen at the Russia-Africa Summit. However, there was a planned coup to take out Traore’s government earlier today. This is not the first time he has attempted a coup against his government. In December 2022, shortly after Traore’s takeover, some soldiers tried to kick him out. Those behind it, they said, were civilians and a lieutenant colonel named Emmanuel Zoungrana. Yesterday, it was reported that some soldiers and former soldiers working in intelligence were scouting homes of key figures of the transition government, including the locations of strongman Ibrahim Traore. As a result, three soldiers in Burkina Faso have been arrested and charged with plotting against the ruling government, the country's military prosecutor said on Friday. The arrested soldiers said that their goal was to destabilize the transition. The military prosecutor, Major Alphonse Zorma said that the soldiers have been detained and charged with involvement in a military plot, breach of military orders, plotting against state security, criminal association, and endangerment.
