 President Ibrahim Traoré Officially Bans The Wearing Of British And French Colonial Wigs By Judges And Lawyers In The Courtroom


Burkina Faso’s President, Ibrahim Traoré, has officially banned the use of British and French colonial wigs by judges in the nation’s courts, signalling a bold step towards cultural authenticity in the country’s judicial system.


Announcing the decision at a press conference, President Traoré emphasised the need to move away from remnants of colonial history and embrace a judicial system that reflects Burkina Faso’s rich cultural heritage. The move aligns with his broader efforts to decolonise national institutions and foster a sense of sovereignty and identity across the country.

Colonial-era wigs and formal court attire have long symbolised the lingering influence of colonial powers in the governance and legal systems of former French and British colonies. By outlawing them, Burkina Faso joins a growing movement across Africa, where nations are shedding colonial-era symbols and practices in favour of indigenous traditions and systems.


This shift is part of a broader strategy by President Traoré to reassert Burkina Faso’s cultural independence, particularly in the legal and judicial sectors. It has been widely seen as a symbolic yet impactful step towards reclaiming the nation’s identity while rejecting outdated practices that no longer resonate with its people.

Burkina Faso’s decision reflects a larger African trend of cultural renaissance, where many countries are re-evaluating colonial legacies and choosing to honour their own histories and customs instead. This initiative has sparked discussions across the continent about the balance between modern governance and preserving cultural authenticity.
