Rapprochement With African Union: Burkinabé Foreign Minister Advocates ‘Realism’
Following the AU’s announcement of a “new approach” toward the countries of the Confederation of Sahel States, Ouagadougou welcomes this shift in tone, Karamoko Jean-Marie Traoré told Sputnik Africa.
“We are pleased to see that the new leadership has understood and decided to go to the source, to gather information, listen, and understand, because that is the only way to provide the right answers. This is not an exercise in grading students; it is an exercise in realism,” he noted.
The issue of terrorism concerns not only West Africa but the entire continent, the minister stressed, adding that the security successes of Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso benefit all of Africa.
