The soldiers behind the coup say they have dissolved the government and suspended the constitution. That's according to a statement read by an army army captain on state television.

"Even if it takes 10 coups, we will find the right solution"
Something tells me there won't ever be a right solution for Burkina Faso
Nor for the rest of Africa. Read Ph Pn's comment for all the reasons why.
Sadly no, and seems like it for much of Africa. Africa has so many issues when i comes to politics has so many issues when it comes to even education. Unfortunately Africa is filled with countries with revolving doors. If countries claimed their territories again like France and actually helped instead of fully pulling out you would see stability.
Ils vont d'irregularite en irregularite et pensent trouver la bonne formule au bout du compte.
A mon avis tout militaire qui s'empare du pouvoir le fait pour son propre benefice.
Unless the return of a Thomas Sankara, a charismatic man without any measure who had big plans for his country. Like food independence and such.
Stop listening to your self then because you never seen battle
I think they lasted longer than the last italian governament.
Haha very true
Haha nice one
Finally Italy will have stable government until the next election in 2027
Truss is trying to last even shorter still.
Ouch😂😂😂😂😂
"Even if it takes 10 coups, we will find the right solution"
This sent shivers down my spine, I mean... will it ever get better under military?
If some genuine kind and thoughtful individuals came into power. It might not happen soon but chance of probabilities says it will happen eventually.
Myanmar says NO.
sounds more like a failed state.
MAYBE
"Even if it take 10 coups, we will find the right solution"
That's not very reassuring...
That is the spirit though, that is how they roll in Africa.
Sounds like the Americans 🤣
It's like the idea of a democratic system with free and fair elections isn't even considered a viable option over there.
@@yunusemresahin6430 yeah, you right, this is what we believe and to have the right person to lead us, we will have to fight until we get to have the right person who will be the second "Thomas Sankara" for us to be free. On paper we free, but in reality we are not free.
You realize that it took the French hundred of years and many, many constitutions to finally get to where they are today? That’s a lot of coups
I like how a video about a coup somehow transpired to the comment section slandering Italy 😂
What's behind it? It was the turn of the guy in the front to show how cool he looks in a beret. Meanwhile the people are suffering
Not a General? No, no, no! A colonel? Nope, not a colonel! Man, things must be chaotic when a captain is in charge of a coup.
It''s a lot more complicated than that... that isn't a fair judgement!
Well ngl he looks fly af so I don’t blame him 😂
@@jayklink851 they are usually sponsored by the generals
Should France come back to rule these irresponsible people for stability ?
Wearing a skull mask on TV is maybe not the best optics if you want to reassure your citizens that they will be safe.
It normal thing for army in Africa and middle east
@@Sssssss553 💯
It looks badass as far as I'm concerned.
He's a soldier...
@@dogman-fx9ub yes, that’s the problem lol.
Imagine doctors or the police wearing skull masks, would you feel safe? 🤣
If you need to assure that you will respect human rights, it's never a good sign.
Given the way the MSM and the EU has responded to the recent Italian election, I disagree.
This may lead into a next uhhh what was that thing called the Irac war or sum
@@klackon1
He seemed genuine enough... But we do have many leaders who appear genuine and yet disregard the interests of the people.
teach respct to US and domocrat counties. ehhehe
"Personally I blame MTV"
Do you even know what that is?.
Confusion of da highest orda!
@@volksgeist3167 well said brotha..
Who wakes first in the morning makes the coup!
"An elf does what Santa screams"
Just another day in Africa.
WE ARE RUSSIAN! GOD WITH US! WE WISH EQUAL WORLD FOR EACH PEOPLE! ESPECIALLY FOR POOR PEOPLE FROM WHOLE WORLD!
Resources must be deserve for local people for each country, in the first. Not only for Europe and other rich people, who robbed countries.
history will remember this
What's behind the coup, in Burkina as in Mali, Guinea and elsewhere in Africa where such things seem to be endemic, is an under-developed political culture on the citizens' side ; armies and governments that are led by people who do not understand the value of legal-based political frameworks. As a result, corruption is far more reaching than even so-called experts are aware of, and this corruption like a sociological infection, undermines all attempts at nation-building. Nations have the elites, armies and leaders they deserve - these are people who come from the same culture as the ones they oppress and steal from. What are the real causes ? Low literacy, inequality for women, superstition ; archaic power structures right down to the family unit. It took Western nations millennia of strife to inch forward, and there's still a long way to go. These are rural cultures with only a very short experience for social organisation in cities and republics : Expect to see this sort of mess for well over a hundred more years. Things take time and people only change because a sufficient amount of them have no other choice : It's hard to learn from the past because each generation erases the lessons learned by their forebears ; only an big emphasis on literacy and education can help lessons to bridge across generations.
That's very true, and well written. Thanks for your insight
Agree. And when they put in a new ruler, they never make the system itself anti corrupt. We dont even do that in the developed west. Its amazing it still functioning at the level we are at even in the current chaos with the russian war.
Wonderful answer and all but… who is funding the coups? Where do rebels get weapons for rearming? You’ll find none of what you say matters when you answer that
French is worry since the african nations supporting russia
@@TMM-N russia don't have the power or money to meddle in africa but not china, china is rich and powerful, they can afford to meddle in africa, don't overestimate the russian and underestimate the chinese.
Corruption decays societies all over the world, not just Africa. We have to try to find systems of governance which are transparent and represent the will of the people, working for the people and not just the 1%, as Bernie Sanders says.
who dat
Impossible, it's in human nature to rule & be ruled.
Democracy promotes corruption
No that greed there a different
The FBI has estimated an annual $300 billion damage globally caused by corruption. I think it is an underestimation, because the indirect damage, the undermining of the people’s basic trust in state institutions and the associated disregard for law at the lowest level, is difficult to quantify. . I think it’s a downward spiral - poverty creates corruption and corruption creates more poverty. It's no coincidence that the poorest countries are the most corrupt. You're right; it would be madness not to fight corruption at all stages of society by setting rail tracks and checks as long it is still posible. Because, once the scale of corruption has reached a certain point, there is no way to turn this around.
For this, robust and independent oversight structures, transparency and a socially just economic system are needed. That also means that companies or officials, conduction corruption in other countries, have to held accountable in their countries.
Ooo Mother Africa, when will you get out of nightmares. Allow the system to work.
Those spokesperson looks exactly like that Onion thumbnail.
Hahahaha yes xD xD
that's a scary looking "government"
Hey, but at least they get to have their own democracy instead of being a French colony
No no no no no. That's not democracy. Unless you're being a cynic.
a junta isnt democratically elected, and they wouldnt be in this situation if the french hadnt ruined things.
Replace democracy with sovereignty. Being a democracy made them a French colony
I'm pretty sure OP was joking. These guys would have been better off as a French colony. At least there mightve been some semblance of order.
@@Liamv4696 💀💀
Tell me you are ignorant without telling me you are ignorant
Theres always that one cod guy in military with skull mask
This is like a Command and Conquer cutscene.
10 months later is the security situation any better?
I will not be surprised if their local media is already preparing a venue for coup d'etat's spokesperson if there's a military convoys going to the news station.
maybe a section of the studio will be annexed for all future coup's spokespeople, since it sounds like they may soon be frequently using it to issue statements.
Burkina Faso like its neighbors in Africa suffers from what the Europeans and other developed regions had undergone in the past. It's hard to impose the values necessary to run a functioning government and a democratic on top of that in these nations. Why? Because it takes time to develop a modern society. Europe suffered countless bloodbaths along the way to develop in its present form. Not just Europe, India, China, and also others.
Only education enables to shorten the gap between the likes of Burkina Faso and let's say, France or Spain. That's why dictators and corrupt officials often hate educated masses. They wanted the people to remain uneducated, ignorant, uncaring about politics. They wanted to retain the rotten old system.
While what you said is true about other countries also having many coups to finally form what they have today, you’re also downplaying the huge and long power and oppression that Africa endured under western colonization. And while some of the countries you listed were also under western control for some time, they also have the trade and easier environmental stability that Africa does not have. Africa was also colonized longer than India, for example. There was also the Trans-Atlantic slave routes that really debilitated those countries, the exploitation of all of the people to remained in Africa, for example, through mining, and the total robbery of Africa’s natural resources. Colonization is what first kept the people “illiterate”. And assassinations of leaders they actually liked due to western sympathizers as well as the west not like that person in power, like Thomas Sankara, is what continues to hold the people back.
@@radiclelife Thanks for an informed comment
@@radiclelife Are you for real? India was under direct British rule for 90 years from 1858 to 1947 and large parts of India were colonies before that.
While the Berlin Conference was in 1884, and and most of Africa gained independence in the 1960's.
This is such terrible benevolent racism.
We have to stop thinking that democracy will solve poverty, it's so naive as a 5-year-old kid. PO
It is part of the process. Coup is sometimes relevant
God bless Burkina faso from Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦
Can't these guys copy and paste from what their fellow Africans are being lead,peace, unity, integrity ,team work that's what brings people together ❤️
It always comes down to the right leader. South Africa had Nelson Mandela. It comes down to a leader to enforce the law, remove corruption and peacefully step down from power and give the people a taste of what a true democracy is. Otherwise if there is Tyranny and corruption lingers in the government, it will cause a coupe which can also cause a power vacuum which will further corrupt the government and force more mistrust amongst the citizens towards the government which slows progress. Progress can always be reversed.
Just north of my country
No
France has indeed tried to intervene in Burkina Faso
Even if it takes 10 coups ?
Even if it takes ten coups!. Coming from a civilian is really shocking.
is it just me, or can you hear the anchor breathing when Henry (the guy with red hair and glasses) is speaking?
Thomas Sankara was the only man who could have saved burkina faso
This pandemic added with devastating natural disasters and political conflicts practised by most so-called civic nations all over the world , we need earnestly to be united to survive. We are shocked over certain actions of specific states
Take cover, missiles incoming. They always wanted to kill you, and it's too late to start fighting the power.
Taking power by force or any other dubious means will end up in disaster.
United States: First time?
Nonsense. The Pinochet coup in Chile established a stable constitution and government.
If at first you don't succeed..... Well, I hope this time things work out.
This beautiful country is turning into war zone which is very sad
They will destroy their country. Nothing good is going to come out of it
So, how long do you think this new "leadership" will last? 5 months? 7 months? Place your bets!
The first coup was so successful they wanted to make a sequel to it.
It depends on CIA's whim and fancy.
@@serasichongchinliong3450 This isn't the Cold War. Russian companies (with support from Moscow) play a much bigger role in African instability by indiscriminately providing weapons and mercenary services in exchange for trade deals and mining rights. The only reason you don't hear a lot about it is because they operate via the Wagner Group.
@@this_is_patrick how many military bases does the west have in Africa? What’s the difference between that and the Russians?
i will give it 2 months
This should be unacceptable in Africa, they are setting a bad example. Who knows next will be him.
Africa is not Africa, until all Africans separate we would keep having this nonsense contraption of neocolonialist government and "countries"
@@Odin00 separate from what exactly?
@@samanth. SEPARATE FROM THIS NONSENSE COLONIAL - NEOCOLONIAL BOUNDARIES AND FORM THEIR OWN INDIGENOUS NATION. WE ARE TRIBAL AND ETHNIC PEOPLE BY NATURE, MOST PROBLEM IN "AFRICA" COMES FROM THE FACT THAT PEOPLE IF DIFFERENT UNRELATED ETHNICITY ARE JOINT TOGETHER. ALL HAIL BIAFRA!!
@@Odin00 All African tribes hate each other 😂😂😂
@@Odin00 That's a myth. The fact of you guys think in "tribal" and "ethnic" terms is one of the roots of the problem.
I'm just gonna put this out there, if you make it to 10 coups and things still aren't better, perhaps coups aren't the solution...
Your right, I think most people in this very countries think that great things comes over night and if they don't see what they want in a very short time, they immediately blame the ruling government not knowing that everything comes slowly. development and stability will never come if they stop this coups
@@martinkibet4074 they are desperate
Nobody likes suffering
@@sharwama992 They will continue to suffer as long as they lack the critical analytical skills that will enable them to see the link between cause and effect.
@@jonye7511 …so you’re saying that the people there lack critical analytical skills on what their own people want? The protestor is the one who said if it takes 10 coups then that’s what it’ll be, not those in government. The people know what they want and they won’t settle until they are happy with the right people and practices put in place. Your thinking is pretty racist tbh because you’re coming across as if you believe that African people or are less intelligent than whatever western country you’re from…
Get rid of FRANCE and you'll be fine.
How do know you if there's been a military coup? Your new TV anchor is this guy, telling you it's totally not a coup.
Let’s wait another 9 month
What !! a captain doing coup ? What strange world
a captain???? i.e. a junior officer . . . smacks of putin
Even corporals have taken over countries in Africa
Well Rosoboronexport
does supply arms to Burkina Faso! This also may have something to do with the plug being pulled on contract for 5 helicopters 2018/19 under Kaboré
I just had my second break up in nine months nothing special
France should now leave Burkina Faso, I love this. If it takes more than ten coups to bring peace then let it be so
Things are not stable
Waka waka waka, another coup in Africa
bro 😂
☠️
This used to happen a lot in Rome, the bodyguard unit's would keep killing the emperor because every time a new emperer would come in he would give them a payout.. so they just kept doing it.
Looks like my country 🇬🇧
As long as they refused to kowtow the French line there'll be coups and more coups. However, they shouldn't give up...they'll get it right soonest.
Ich hasse Bewerbung.
When corruption and unjust government rule people have to go through the process of dismantling the government and creating new institutions that will help people
Did I just notice Russian flag in the background
Yes it Russian flag
Interesting 🤔
hmmm 😑
Feed them weapons, let them fight.
Keep clam
keep couing
The problem remains the same
Lastly, WHO provided them those weapons??? As far as I know, that country does not have the infrastructure to manufacture those weapons!!! Trace the supplier, and keep them responsible.
Seriously, the World Health Organisation?
20 minutes and so far…Serbia/Turkey/Russia ( not including the dodgy helicopter deal with Russia )

I see France in this
Good Africa let take care of our own problems no nato or foreign countries intervention like they killed gaddaffi
"I am the Captain now"
Coups are taking place in this country as often as we change our underwears. 🤣
The reason why the coup is taking place is because the previous person that was in power was incompetent. He took over and it got worse more territory was lost to terrorists. The people and soldiers were hoping that he could bring change to the country as Sankara and Assimi goita is currently doing in Mali. Due to lack progress in taking back territory as was happening during Roch presidency they began to think that he is one the French's puppets like Blaise was and so the coup was initiated
In a few months' time you will discover that this new leader is only interested in having the power himself.
Hopefully the military can bring socialist human rights policies to ensure self determination within Burkina Faso and stop the capitalist and specifically french imperialists from corrupting their government again
Good speech but he is no Sankara. What set Sankara apart was only not his anti-west stance the depth of his politcal analysis and his transformative domestic policies.
Bruh that nose breathing noise
Why did they fight the Colonial master to become Coup Masters?
Woke strategy probably
The newer junta was there with the previous. What it a game? 🎯 on people.

Ghost of Thomas Sankara
It's cowardice to leave the real problem (insurgency) and stage a coup.
This country’s politics have become a meme
starting to feel a little used....😎
Hope it will be duplicated in China.
The issue with all of the African countries is the corruption and lack of value within their currency a long with the lack of support. Many of these countries left from their hosts in shambles and were already suffering with issues. Sadly to this day no one has helped fix that.
The Afrikans can fix their issues without the continued meddling of the West and Globalists.
they don't need people like you to help to help them, you are the problem
I Stand With Russia 🇷🇺 - First of all if you need put the blame on the western powers, France, UK and US for all of the troubles in africa. These countries colonised and have been stealing resources since they carved out pieces of africa from themselves. Yes african leaders are corrupt but if you are blind to these puppets who are supported by the western powers, and in doing so are allowed to enrich themselves as long as they approve shady contracts allowing private companies who mine the resources and export them back to Europe and US for their financial gain. France has 14 countries that have to have their reserves in a french bank up to 65% , in a currency printed by the French. how can these countries thrive and build a better country for themselves? like Dubai did with its oil?. These new leaders that are doing Coups are tired for colonialism. They want to rule the country by themselves without the west being always involved. Africa is the Richest continent but has never see the benefit from it because its stolen. The US which always tries to police the world but does the worst crimes to humanity on a daily basis but condemns this, so does France. People are so quick to forget what happend in Libya. They didnt want Gaddafi creating currency for a the whole of africa that could rival the Dollar and British pound , because they know Africa actually has the Gold and reserves to back up that currency if it ever was created. The Fall of the dollar is going to happen we just dont know when that will be
The issue is that a white man is trying to explain to us what our problems are
@adamaboussoukkar8832 Westerners look at coups in Africa and assume every coup brings into power a corrupt, power-hungry man. As we have seen in 1984 this is not always the case, a second Sankara has arrived. Good luck to you from India 🇮🇳
Did nobody see the Russian flag at the demonstrations?
a captain seize power, where is the upper rank such as colonel, brig. general, maj. general,general chief of army??? why most of the coup was carried out by a rank middle rank in military such as lieutenant colonel or captain
The tree of liberty must be watered by blood
Ca a encore recommence! Ca va finir quand!!!???
I wish we can have such coups in uganda
museveni reigns supreme😂
Even if museveni resigns right known there will be a civil war in Uganda the best thing to fight for right know is constitutional and structural reforms in the goverment ,museveni runs uganda like family affair
In 2023 people still need change
ibrahim traore have huge public support.
At least they held it down for a lot longer than the unstable Italian governments (elections like a revolving door in that country Italy).
at least Italy does it through its institutions
at least people don't get killed and tortured in Italian elections
Ms Georgia Meloni is showing the middle finger to Brussel's dictatorship.
Can you really compare Burkina Faso with any european country?:)) they are 500years behind even from Kosovo...
hehehe comparing italy to burkina faso , even if italy had 7 goverments per week it will always be more stable than burkina faso xD
Imagine if Africa just had democracy, how advanced many of these countries would become.
I guess that’s what happens if you get an old British man who has never been to Africa to draw the borders and put all of the wrong people in charge.
Yeah, sure... democracy. Worked well when the United States imposed their view on everybody else
Cringe liberal paternalism
African Gov is what they good at it
France’s colonial legacy. Nothing positive comes from them as your coloniser . Francophone countries have never seen peace. The French left but they made sure that nothing works after their departure. I think it’s time the African continent changes to eliminate any colonial legacies if we need peace and prosperity.
Exactly. So many commentators on this thread seem to not know the real background to the troubles in the area. France greed is entirely to blame
The question that should be asked is: Who are behind the coup?
Me
French
FRANCE and the most of EU in exclusion of Italy
France
I don't think it's this time, many of them think that France was included in the first coup against roch because he was going to side with Russia
This is all they know all they have seen have no idea what is a democracy this is crazy
It must be France, France, France + some other forces...
Captain? What!? he wanted a pay raise? (he is just the front man, some `strong man' is behind him who may not be a man)
I'm just happy right now there's been no genocide this time
1:08 is that a russian flag ??
Yes
It is
Give chance to Burkina 🇧🇫 people for decide, to who can lead them unless tomorrow we will see new junta against on it.
so only 3 more coups to go?
What are U.N. troops for?
The troops can only put into action with a mandat.
@@susannehartl3067
These troops are useless without lying. Aside from wasting money, but that doesn't bother the funded states of the world.
We Africans are always dreaming days.......In the old days we wanted New times..Our problems isn't the times, but our refusal to grow and accept responsibility for this growth.......our mindsets and not our skillsets will keep us seemingly looking everywhere with our eyes closed. Somewhat like waking up someone from deep sleep to remind them to take their sleeping pills.
Nice poem but Africa has grown in civilization nowonder we are able see wrong and kick it out. Am sure you heard the guy say even if it takes ten coups,all we want is change.We did in zambia by kicking out thugs.People now know they are actually the government and leaders are mere reps
Just check which of the involved military officer spent how much time in France. Which French companies were having trouble with government.
