Military President Ibrahim Traore of Burkina Faso, has said that no country develops under democracy across the Globe.
Traore made the assertion during a flag-raising ceremony at the Koulouba Palace last week.
“If we have to say it loud and clear here, we are not in a democracy; we are in a popular, progressive revolution.
“We must necessarily go through a revolution, and we are indeed in a revolution. So this question of democracy or libertinism of action or expression has no place.
“As much as you think you are free to speak and act, the other is also free to speak and act, and there we end up with a society of disorder, ” he stated.
The military president strongly condemned the notion that democracy is a prerequisite for development, saying it is “false” to believe any country has developed under a democratic system.
He added: “It is impossible to name a country that has developed in democracy. Democracy is only the result.”
It could be recalled that Traore ceased power in September 2022 and has since led Burkina Faso making policies towards the development of the country.
