National reconciliation: ‘We cannot talk about reconciliation with armed bandits who are killing us,’ Ibrahim Traoré

President Ibrahim Traoré affirmed Saturday during his major speech that Burkina Faso is in conflict with armed bandits who kill indiscriminately and that it is impossible to reconcile with them in this position.'We are in conflict with armed bandits who kill indiscriminately. We do not want to reconcile with them. If this is what people call reconciliation, we do not want this reconciliation,' said Captain Ibrahim Traoré.President Ibrahim Traoré, speaking on Radio Burkina on Saturday, October 5, 2024, said that "we cannot let people kill us and talk about reconciliation."He explains that "we receive correspondence in this sense. People who write to us to give us strategies in the sense of social cohesion and national reconciliation. But when you read deep down, we cannot reconcile people in this way."Captain Traoré announced that the fight would continue until they themselves raised the white flag.For him, those who destroyed this country must answer for their actions before justice before talking a bout any reconciliation.'These people must recognize what they have done, pay for what they have done, before we talk about reconciliation. It is not about brushing all this aside and speaking in the name of reconciliation. That is impunity,' the President of Faso suggested.Source: Burkina Information Agency
