Traore Receives Help From Germany And Russia Against The West

German Development Minister Schulze, on her visit to Burkina Faso, demonstrated a willingness to talk to the ruling military junta. In Benin, she'll support Berlin's effort to boost confidence in state structures.
Over the weekend, there were attacks all over the country and they happened at the same time. Both churches and mosques were targeted, bringing deaths and many casualties.
According to the Catholic diocese of Dori, 15 people were killed that weekend during the Sunday Mass in the village of Essakane in northeastern Burkina Faso. The Federation of Islamic Associations of Burkina Faso reported that 14 worshippers, including an imam, were killed in a mosque in the eastern town of Natiaboani.
The attacks are the worst in some time in the Sahel country of 22 million inhabitants, where terrorist acts have been spreading since 2016.
Burkina Faso will be the first of two stops on a trip to region by German Federal Development Minister Svenja Schulze on Monday.
Germany currently chairs the Sahel Alliance, a key development body.
The Sahel region is full of potentials which makes this area a land of opportunity: human capital, natural resources, renewable energy potential, a lot of minerals..
Unfortunately, several factors hinder its development: Burkina Faso, Chad, Mali, Mauritania and Niger face many challenges, including chronic insecurity, a lack of economic prospects, and poor access to education, employment and essential services such as water and electricity. Climate change is weakening the region even more.
With all these instabilities, an appropriate reaction, one that would be rapidly effective in the field, was necessary to deal with this instable and fragile situation; a response taking security challenges into account, a response capable of ensuring the region’s lasting and sustainable development.
Development partners and large international organizations provided the response to this double-edged challenge of security and development.
In July 2017, several development partners launched the Sahel Alliance, an international cooperation platform to provide more and better support for development initiatives in the Sahel. Since its launch, the African Development Bank, Canada, Denmark, the European Investment Bank, the European Union, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom, United Nations, the United States, and the West African Development Bank have joined the initiative as full members.
Nine other countries or organisations have joined the Sahel Alliance as observer members: Japan, Belgium, Switzerland, Finland, the International Finance Corporation, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change, Ireland and the Organisation internationale de la Francophonie. They participate in decision-making meetings of the Sahel Alliance as well as in the work and activities of sectoral and thematic groups, including in the field in the G5 countries. However, they do not integrate their development projects into the portfolio designated and monitored by the Alliance.
In order to provide an appropriate response to the challenges facing the Sahelian countries, the Sahel Alliance members decided to guide their work according to four key principles: targeting its fields of action; accountability between partners with regard to shared goals; new, innovative and more flexible modes of action; and a specific commitment to vulnerable and fragile zones.
