Dans un communiqué publié hier par le tribunal militaire de Ouagadougou, au Burkina Faso, le pays a frôlé de très près une nouvelle déstabilisation du pouvoir des militaires, chargé d’assurer la transition politique du pays après avoir eux-même fait un coup d’état le 30 septembre 2022 contre …, actuellement réfugié à Lomé, au Togo.
Ci-dessous le communiqué intégral du tribunal de Ouagadougou
Le Gouvernement de Transition informe l’opinion publique qu’une tentative avérée de coup d’État a été déjouée ce 26 septembre 2023 par les services de renseignement et de sécurité burkinabè. A l’heure actuelle, des officiers et d’autres acteurs présumés impliqués dans cette tentative de déstabilisation ont été interpelés et d’autres, activement recherchés.
Les acteurs de ce funeste projet de déstabilisation, mus par des intérêts aux antipodes de la dynamique de reconquête de notre territoire national et de la souveraineté de notre cher pays nourrissaient le sombre dessein de s’attaquer aux institutions de la République et de précipiter notre pays dans le chaos.
En attendant que le Procureur militaire apporte plus de détails sur ce complot, le Gouvernement regrette profondément que des Burkinabè qui plus est des officiers dont le serment est de défendre la Patrie, se soient fourvoyés dans une entreprise d’une telle nature qui vise à entraver la marche du peuple burkinabè pour sa souveraineté et sa libération totale des hordes terroristes qui tentent de l’asservir.
Le Gouvernement salut l’action patriotique et le sens élevé du devoir des Forces de défense et de sécurité qui ont permis de mettre un coup d’arrêt à cette entreprise. Il rend un vibrant hommage à l’ensemble du peuple burkinabè et singulièrement à sa jeunesse pour son engagement résolu et historique à défendre la Patrie et à la protéger contre tous ceux qui veulent nous faire entrer à reculons dans l’histoire.
Le Gouvernement rassure que toute la lumière sera faite sur cette tentative de coup d’État. Il invite les populations à la vigilance face aux amalgames savamment entretenus notamment sur les réseaux sociaux tendant à impliquer certaines personnalités dont le chef d’état-major général des armées et l’Ambassadeur du Burkina Faso au Ghana. En tout état de cause les investigations en cours permettront de démasquer les instigateurs de ce complot.
