Minister Bassolma Bazié asked the UN on Saturday to work to lift the blockades imposed by Western countries, preventing in Burkina Faso the purchase of aerial vectors, which are nevertheless crucial in the fight against terrorism.

“For the air vectors necessary for the control and defense of the territory, we had a contract with Brazil, the Weapons License of which had to come from Belgium, and the Navigation and Shooting system as well as Cameras from the United States. United States of America, then a Motor of Canada.

These means are today fallaciously and cynically blocked. You are talking about Defense of Human Rights at this UN forum, I therefore invite you to immediately deliver our Weapons to us for the defense and protection of our battered populations.

In any case, you are solemnly informed and if nothing is done, history will hold you responsible for failure to assist people in danger! “.
