How long will the military transition in Burkina Faso last?

This is one of the challenges of the ECOWAS summit this Sunday, July 3 in Accra, Ghana.

For the military regime in power in Burkina Faso, this transition must last three years.

But for ECOWAS, this is not a reasonable timetable.

Wendkouni Joël Lionel Bilgo is Minister of Education and spokesperson for the Burkinabè government.

Passing through Paris, he answered questions from Christophe Boisbouvier and declared that he was not braced on the question of the deadline.
