The African Union (AU) has “strongly condemned the attempted coup against the democratically elected president” in Burkina Faso.
The Chairperson of the AU Commission, Moussa Faki Mahamat affirmed, in a press release published on Monday, that he was following with “deep concern the very serious situation in Burkina Faso” and “strongly condemning the coup attempt against the democratically elected “.
Moussa Faki Mahamat has, in this sense, called “the national army and the security forces of the country to stick strictly to their republican vocation, namely the defense of the internal and external security of the country”.
They are also called upon “to ensure the physical integrity of the President of the Republic as well as all the members of his government”.
The Chairperson of the AU Commission also encouraged “the government and all civil and military actors to favor political dialogue as a means of solving the problems of Burkina Faso”.
Already acting closely with ECOWAS, the President of the Commission declares that he is relentlessly pursuing joint efforts with the regional organization for a rapid solution to this crisis.
