Ouagadougou: The meeting between Burkinabe Prime Minister Rimtalba Jean Emmanuel Ouedraogo and United Nations (UN) Under-Secretary-General Amina Mohamed on the sidelines of the 80th UN General Assembly is the most discussed topic in today's publications. "UN: Burkina Faso calls for calling terrorists and their sponsors by their names," headlines the newspaper Sidwaya.
According to Burkina Information Agency, the state-run daily reports that Prime Minister Rimtalba Jean Emmanuel Ouedraogo, during a meeting with UN Under-Secretary-General Amina Mohamed, urged people to avoid patting terrorists on the back. He called for a shift away from the narrative of avoiding naming terrorist sponsors. For him, "as long as we don't name them, they will continue their crimes," Sidwaya said.
The newspaper adds that during this audience, the Head of the Burkinabe government explained the context prevailing in Burkina Faso and recounted the numerous efforts made by the Burkinabe people under the leadership of the President of Faso, Captain Ibrahim Traore in the area of security and development.
the oldest private daily newspaper, L'observateur Paalga, on the same subject indicated that this meeting allowed for a direct and frank exchange on the national situation and the prospects for cooperation with the United Nations system. The newspaper specifies that the Prime Minister emphasized that as long as the UN maintains its position of support respectful of national priorities, Burkina Faso remains willing to continue this cooperation.
For the newspaper Le Pays, the interview opened up new perspectives with the willingness expressed by the Prime Minister to promote a visit by Ms. Aminata Mohamed to Burkina Faso, an initiative desired by the UN official.
The Bobolais daily, L'Express du Faso, for its part, indicated that this audience thus reinforces a constructive dialogue between Burkina Faso and the United Nations, driven by the shared desire to work for peace, stability and development.
