Ouagadougou: The Citizen Monitoring Coalition on Biotechnology Activities expressed its satisfaction on Friday with the Burkinabe government's decision to end the Target Malaria project, which it deemed dangerous for the country's health sovereignty. For coalition spokesperson Ali Tapsoba, this measure illustrates the effective implementation of the sovereignist vision championed by President Ibrahim Traor©.
According to Burkina Information Agency, the coalition welcomed the decision with great joy, emphasizing their belief in having a responsible government. The spokesperson highlighted that the sovereignist vision advocated by Captain Ibrahim Traor© assured them that once evidence was produced demonstrating the project's danger, the government would terminate it.
Ali Tapsoba stated that this move reassures the coalition and is proof of the trustworthiness of the government. It also signifies that in Burkina Faso, the scientific debate remains open. The government's decision aims to definitively close activities linked to the Target Malaria project, which had been carried out for several years in collaboration with research institutions and had sparked lively debates within the national opinion.
