Traore Bans 118 Civil Groups in Burkina Faso’s Massive Security Crackdown | Firstpost Africa | N18G

Burkina Faso’s military leader Ibrahim Traoré has dissolved 118 civil society groups in a sweeping move authorities say is tied to national security. The decision follows a 2025 law tightening regulations on associations, with officials claiming the affected organisations failed to comply. The crackdown comes as the country battles insurgent groups linked to Al-Qaeda and ISIS, with large areas reportedly outside state control. While the government argues that strict measures are necessary in wartime, critics warn that the move is shrinking civic space and weakening oversight. As security pressures mount, Traoré is redefining the balance between control and freedom in Burkina Faso.
