When you are at war, there is a price to pay if you want to win it. In the case before us, the Burkinabè have no choice: we must win this war quickly and move on to development issues. When you want to be sovereign, there is a price to pay. When you demand your independence, there is a price to pay. We should no longer expect anything from anyone, especially not from the outside. Moreover, many traditional partners having suspended their aid to our country, it is up to the Burkinabè to finance the liberation of their country and its development. Point !
But this price must be paid by everyone so that everyone effectively contributes to the war effort, to sovereignty, to true independence. This is why it is necessary to expand contributions to the Patriotic Support Fund to other socio-professional layers such as the informal sector which, moreover, represents an important sector of our country’s economy. It would also not be a bad idea to explore other tax loopholes so as not to put too much pressure on the wallets of civil servants and private sector workers. Either way, everyone is a worker.
Furthermore, if the Burkinabè are attached to the liberation of their country and also to their freedom, they are ready to make the sacrifices necessary to achieve this. However, it would have been appropriate to convince them further and ask for their support before making any decision in this direction. Whatever anyone says, salary is personal and therefore must not be taken without the agreement of the person for whom it is intended. The main question is to prevent, sooner or later, the Burkinabè from feeling persecuted by the transitional power. Because, even if we are in a State of exception, we must take into account the fact that even our endogenous values recommend consultation on questions that affect the life of the entire community.
It is true that the country was quite “rotten” due to certain behaviors for which we are all responsible and must be reconditioned, willingly or by force. Including those who let it happen when they had the possibility of stopping the evil. If young Burkinabè have taken their responsibilities, common sense dictates that we sincerely support them.
However, it is increasingly necessary to activate at least some consultation frameworks with the main driving forces of the nation. In order to effectively involve them in the fight against terrorism, but also in the rebuilding of governance and the nation, in general. Because as many as they are, sincere Burkinabè want to participate, in their own way, in liberating their country, in rebuilding it by creating the conditions for renewal through a new Burkinabè.
