BREAKING NEWS: Burkina Faso Foils $8.2 Million Coup Attempt Against President Ibrahim Traoré In a significant development, Burkina Faso's transitional government announced that it thwarted a coup attempt against President Ibrahim Traoré on September 26, 2023. The plot involved an individual attempting to bribe soldiers with five billion CFA francs (approximately $8.2 million) to support the coup. The soldiers, however, feigned agreement and reported the incident, leading to the arrest of the suspect. The funds were subsequently handed over to the Treasury Department. This marks the sixth coup attempt against President Traoré since he seized power in 2022. The government has assured the public that investigations are ongoing to uncover the source of the funds and any additional conspirators. President Traoré expressed gratitude to the nation's security and intelligence services for their vigilance and reaffirmed his commitment to leading Burkina Faso towards sovereignty and stability. The incident underscores the ongoing challenges faced by the Sahel region, where political instability and security threats remain prevalent.
