Foreign Ministry of France condemned the attack on the building of the French embassy in Burkina-Faso (state in West Africa) and called on local authorities to ensure the safety of diplomats.
“We most decisively condemn violence against our diplomatic missions in Burkina -Faso. Any attack on our diplomatic property is unacceptable. We urge all interested parties to ensure their security in accordance with international conventions,” says the commander
On the eve, it was reported that in Burkina-Faso the military overthrew the transition president of Lieutenant Colonel-Henry Damibu, who came to power in January 2022-also as a result of a military coup. The military led by the new leader of the country Ibrahim Traore captured state television. They declared fellow citizens that the constitution was suspended, the government was dissolved, the borders were closed for an indefinite period, and urged everyone to “peacefully go about their business.” Traore explained that his predecessor Damibu could not cope with the Islamist rebels, although he promised to make the country safer. Some demonstrators on the streets of the capital supported new military leaders, some called to turn to Russian mercenaries for help, as they did during the coup in neighboring Mali.
Recall, for several days the Armenians tried to attack the Azerbaijani embassy in Paris. On the video frames common in social networks, it was evident how a group of Armenians broke the fence and tried to invade the embassy building. The police did not interfere with the vandals. The third secretary and Media-Attash of the Azerbaijan Embassy in Paris Gunel Zyulfugarova told Anadolu that the provocation participants tried to hang out photographs of Turkish and Azerbaijan from the embassy and defiantly burn them, kicked the doors of the diplomatic mission, threw the building with eggs, tried to knock out the doors. The police arrived only 30-40 minutes after the call entered. “We previously applied to the relevant institutions with a demand to ensure the security of the embassy building, but they thought that there were no sufficient grounds for this,” said the first adviser to the embassy Ali Halafly.
