Burkina Faso's Army Acquires New Military Equipment, Local Media Reports
Since 2015, Burkina Faso has faced challenges in addressing the jihadist insurgency that has troubled Sahel for several years. In response to a sequence of terrorist incidents, the Burkinabe authorities declared a nationwide general mobilization in April 2023.
Burkina Faso's army acquired new military equipment, according to the local BF1 TV channel.
A convoy of trucks loaded with military equipment arrived in
Ouagadougou on Tuesday to cheers from the crowds, as per the media.
Locals reportedly told the press of their "joy" and "pride" at the "unprecedented" purchase of various types of equipment by their army.
This purchase of
weapons was made possible by contributions from the Burkinabes, a man in the crowd pointed out.
In January, the country's military received a batch of armored vehicles, more powerful missiles and various military equipment with a view to step up the
fight against terrorism.
