 Burkina Faso declares free visa processing for all Africans


Burkina Faso has announced free visa processing for nationals of all African countries as part of a series of measures adopted by the Council of Ministers at its weekly meeting chaired by Transitional President Captain Ibrahim Traoré.


Government spokesperson Pingdwendé Gilbert Ouédraogo, said the Council took the decision as part of the pan-African vision of Captain Traoré, TRT Afrika reported.


“From now on, any citizen from an African country wishing to go to Burkina Faso will not pay any amount to cover their visa fees,” said Security Minister Mahamadou Sana.


According to Sana, the decree aims to “strengthen the free movement of the African people and their goods in the Burkinabe territory and, on the other hand, African integration.”


However, he clarified that the new arrangement “does not mean visa exemption.”


Official dress reforms


On judicial reforms, Justice and Human Rights Minister Edasso Rodrigue Bayala said three decrees were adopted to define the official attire of the President and members of the Constitutional Council, as well as clerks and magistrates of higher courts.


Bayala explained that the costumes will be produced locally: “Justice is working to be closer to our socio-cultural realities, in line with the vision of Faso President, Captain Ibrahim Traoré. ‘‘


"The costumes of the President and members of the Constitutional Council, magistrates and clerks of higher courts will now be made from Burkinabe cotton, which will support the local economy,” Bayala adds.
