"We are not going to accept it, and we are entitled to suspend [them]. Even if tomorrow other media speak to them, we are going to suspend them, because they have an objective that is contrary to what we have as reality. And they don't go out on the ground, sometimes they dream things up. If you have followed why certain media were suspended, it is actually deplorable: media that seek to confront the people, to stir up war, well, we are not going to get along with them. So that's why we removed them," he elaborated.
'Leave Us, We Will Fight Like Burkinabes'
"It's still quite old […], and it's still colonization.We have to manage to move forward on our own," he stressed.
"We told the French that we do not want French soldiers to come and die on our soil. Leave us, we will fight like Burkinabes," he emphasized.
"It's when they were moving, some were able to uncover all the arsenal that there was in terms of armor, in terms of combat helicopters, in terms of intelligence assets and everything. We can't have all that. And then the terrorists walk around and do whatever they want. In any case, today, we manage to identify terrorist columns and strike them. So we also have the means capable of doing it. So it was not necessary. They had to leave, that's all," he further pointed out.
