Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 35261, member: 636"] Burkina Faso's military government claims it thwarted a significant coup attempt against junta leader Captain Ibrahim Traoré. Security Minister Mahamadou Sana revealed that current and former soldiers, working alongside terrorist leaders, planned to attack the presidential palace last week. The alleged plotters aimed to create widespread chaos and place the country under international supervision. Sana made these statements during a broadcast on state television on Monday. This incident represents the latest in several reported attempts to remove Traoré, who originally seized power in 2022 during a period of increasing militant activity in the region. The government's accusations highlight the ongoing political instability and security challenges facing Burkina Faso's military leadership. [/QUOTE]
