The French government has announced the withdrawal of all its diplomats from Burkina Faso, following a dispute over alleged terrorism support.
In June, President Ibrahim Traoré accused France of being involved in terrorist activities and demanded the expulsion of French diplomats. The French government has denied these allegations, saying they are ‘completely false’.
The withdrawal of diplomats is seen as a response to Burkina Faso’s decision to sever ties with France, which had been in place since the 1980s. The move has sparked concerns about the impact on bilateral relations and regional security.
