According to these Burkinabes, the USA and France are imperialist forces who desire to force their will on the people of Burkina, something they will not sit still and look unconcerned.

The group besieged the Burkina Faso embassy in Ghana, located at Asylum Down to express their solidarity behind fellow Burkinabes demonstrating in their home country.

“We unite as one people and we call upon our ancestral spirits, all the divine beings in our universe. Today whatever these two countries, France and the US and we light their flags on fire,” one man can be heard saying while others chanted in support of him.

Thousands of people rallied in support of Burkina Faso’s ruling junta Wednesday, days after the military authorities said they had uncovered a “plot” to overthrow the government.

Demonstrators carried giant posters of junta leader Captain Ibrahim Traore and Burkinabe and Russian flags.

With placards bearing slogans such as: “Down with imperialism and its local lackeys” and “Full support for President Ibrahim Traore and the people of Burkina Faso”, they gathered in a central square in the capital Ouagadougou.

This protest has been described as one of the biggest pro-junta demonstrations since Traore seized power in a September 2022 coup in the west African country, which has been battling jihadist attacks for a decade that have killed tens of thousands of people.

On April 21, the junta claimed to have undone a “major plot” planned by masterminds in neighbouring Ivory Coast, with the arrests of several top army officials.

Traore has regularly accused Ivory Coast of harbouring his opponents, allegations its neighbour rejects.

Alassane Ouattara has been serving as President of Ivory Coast since 4 December 2010, and is regarded as a lackey of France.

Over more than a year, the junta has detained several dozen military officers, including former gendarmerie chief of staff Evrard Somda, accusing them of plotting or of attempting to destabilise republican institutions.
