Скачать или смотреть BREAKING: Ibrahim Traoré Cancels 1960s France–Burkina Faso Tax Treaty

Under the leadership of President Ibrahim Traoré, Burkina Faso has officially cancelled and terminated the 1960s tax treaty with France, a colonial-era agreement that allowed foreign companies to pay minimal taxes while extracting wealth from Burkinabè soil.
This decision marks a historic shift in economic sovereignty, ensuring that companies operating in Burkina Faso now follow national tax laws and contribute fairly to the country’s development, security, and stability.
In this report, we explain: • What the 1960s tax treaty was
• Why it disadvantaged Burkina Faso for decades
• How ending it changes revenue collection
• What this means for Burkina Faso–France relations
• Why many Africans see this as a sovereignty milestone
This is not about hostility — it is about fairness, dignity, and national correction.
