Prof. Kwesi Aning, Head of the Office for International Cooperation at the Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping Training Centre (KAIPTC), has commended the leadership of Burkina Faso’s President Ibrahim Traoré for significant improvements in food security in the country.
Speaking on The Point of View on Channel One TV with Bernard Avle, Prof. Aning highlighted key developments under Traoré’s administration, noting that steps taken by the junta government have begun yielding positive results for ordinary Burkinabè citizens.
Prof. Aning stated, “In Burkina Faso, the gold mines have been nationalised. We’re seeing roads being built. Hectares are being given to farmers. Even more importantly, food security has improved.”
Prof. Aning explained that the improvements are particularly evident in areas previously plagued by hunger and malnutrition.
He also questioned prevailing narratives about Burkina Faso in Western media, suggesting they may not reflect the current realities on the ground.
“In regions where children were starving and couldn’t concentrate on their education and were being destroyed by ‘kwashiorkor’, now they can live… It raises questions about how the narrative is being created by the West and in the West,” he pointed out.
