Скачать или смотреть BREAKING: BURKINA FASO BAN ALL POLITICAL PARTIES

Burkina Faso has just taken one of the most radical political steps in modern African history.

On January 29, 2026, the Council of Ministers under military leader Captain Ibrahim Traoré approved a decree dissolving all political parties in the country. Every party has been stripped of its legal status, and all party assets — property, funds, and infrastructure — have been transferred to the state.

According to the government, this move is aimed at reducing political division, strengthening national unity, and creating a coherent long-term national development framework free from partisan obstruction. Officials argue that multi-party competition encourages fragmentation, policy reversals, and incentives that place political survival above national progress.

Critics, however, are already calling this decision anti-democratic and a dangerous concentration of power.

In this episode of Frontline Africa, we break down:

The government’s full justification

The philosophical argument against multi-party democracy
