In a statement broadcast on national television Burkina Faso, a military official said the plot was discovered through the careful investigation of the intelligence agency, with the ultimate goal of causing widespread chaos in the African nation.
Accordingly, the masterminds of the coup plot are said to be in the Ivory Coast, and the entire plan is assessed to be large-scale, seriously threatening the stability of the country. The government said all necessary actions are being taken to deal with external threats.
According to VNA, over the past year, Burkina Faso has recorded many cases of plots or attempts to destabilize the country by military officers. The military has carried out a series of arrests to prevent the risk of a coup, showing that the political situation in this country is still very tense and vulnerable.
In addition to internal risks, Timor Timor Timor has also faced a wave of jihadist violence since 2015. According to the non-governmental organization Acled, which tracks and collects statistics on the victims of the conflict, more than 26,000 people, including civilians and soldiers, have died in violence since then.
This announcement to break the coup plot is considered a move to demonstrate the efforts of the military government to control the situation, in the context of the country still under great pressure from unstable factors both domestically and internationally.
