Burkina
Faso is one of the better educated countries in West Africa. And its population
is young and dynamic. There is in addition a good sense of national identity
and cohesiveness. It is therefore unacceptable to see the Presidential Guard
take over the executive power, stop the transition to democratic rule and try
to bring back the former President, Blaise Compaoré. The coup d´état, carried
out a couple of days ago, must be condemned firmly by all the friends of such
an interesting and promising country. It would be a serious disservice to
Africa if France and others in the EU would be seen as hesitating in their
condemnation of the coup.
