LSpeculations about the real reasons for the reshuffle are still going strong, in particular, the departure of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, as well as the one in charge of mines. The first to survive Mpsr 1 was the linchpin of Burkinabè diplomacy, breaking away from its old friends and charting the path to new, uninhibited cooperation with new partners to face the terrorist threat. The second outgoing had the heavy responsibility of administering the strategic sector of mines and energy, one of the mainstays of our economy in terms of revenue and contributions to GDP, a sector in the midst of reforms to extract maximum benefits. . In these two departments, the direction is already mapped out and known, which is perhaps what justifies why there was no parachute drop in the appointments to these two folding seats. In Foreign Affairs, the former minister delegate for cooperation, Jean Marie Karamoko Traoré, rose in rank, and Yacouba Zabré Gouba, former administrator of a mining company on behalf of the State, was recalled from our Embassy in Tehran, for the needs of the cause . There is probably no fundamental break to be expected in the governance of these two departments, perhaps a change of style and acceleration of certain files.o
