In Burkina, for the first time proof of the life of Ablassé Ouedraogo was released. The former Minister of Foreign Affairs was arrested on December 24.

On Sunday, photos and a video of him were published on the Internet. He is presented as being at the front, taking part in the fight against jihadists within the Volunteers for the Defense of the Fatherland. Some believe that these images constitute a warning. They come out the day after a meeting of the head of the junta. Captain Ibrahim Traoré warned his supporters that there would be no feeling for those who betrayed Burkina.
