- Soldiers in Burkina Faso have detained the president in the latest military coup attempt.
That follows a day of unrest and gunfire near President Roch Kabore's residence.
The military is angry at the government's failure to stop attacks by armed groups such as ISIL and Al Qaeda.
They've killed thousands and displaced more than 1.5 million people.
So what's required to restore stability?
Presenter: Imran Khan
Guests:
Emmanuel Kwesi Aning - Director of Research, Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping Training Centre.
Jesper Bjarnesen - Senior Researcher, Nordic Africa Institute.
Adama Gaye - Journalist and Former Director of Information at ECOWAS.

First, thank you Al J for doing more than a 2 minute story like the rest of the media.
Al Jazeera is only playing its role in setting out the narrative on Africa that the west and some Arab nations want Africans and the rest of the world to believe. Wasn't it France who did business with and supported Blaise Compaore for 27 years? Wasn't it the same with Kabore? And since we are asking questions, what about France's role in Sankara's assassination? If islamic fundamentalism and jihadism is threatening Africa and other regions of the world, Al Jazeera should be using its top investigative journalist to keep the spotlight on Al Queda, Al Shabaab and Boko Haram. Let us know where their funding and weapons are coming from, how many terrorists they have deployed across the regions, and what is their end mission in Africa. An islamic base (Al Queda) that tells African Youth (Al Shabaab) that western-styled education is forbidden (Boko Haram) and is willing to use terror and destruction to get its point across have no place in Africa. That is the elephant in the room Al Jazeera; don't take your eyes off of it!
@@MarcusAJohn-sp2ee I cosign everything you have written. The reason I like longer pieces is that they always "screw up" and accidentally reveal some truth or open up something they will have to explain later.
It's like a very savvy criminal agreeing to speak to the police at length. No matter how smart or clever, something you say will get you tripped up. The "dumb" guy who lawyers up is infinitely smarter.
So I have to give props for the airtime, even it involves serious slanted coverage.

Military coups NEVER solved Africas' problems in the past ,they rather made them worse. Military coups often lead to counter- coups , civil wars, mismanagement, corruption, human right abuses, and unstable environment and deprived Africa of peace much needed for development. The military in Africa should rather dialogue and cooperate with African governments to fight Jihadists and nation wreckers instead of using their activities as excuses to remove elected governments, and come to power to loot national coffers. Military coups have retarded Africas' development over three decades .The AU , ECOWAS , the international community and Institutions must make military coups and illegal constitutional amendments to hang onto power impossible and unatractive. Africa cannot afford to be going backwards with military coups among community of nations. It is a shame ! Soldiers in Africa alone have distabilized Africa for far too long .! Enough is Enough !
Amen
They never came to flourish bc white revenge or white puppet leaders placed in positions. Expelled whites and live happily ever after.
I hate when they have Europeans discuss or analyze African problems.
Hi, what is the problem is this region, why is this happening, what is Islamists agenda good or bad, or is there mafia behind this,
Peace ✌ to my great grandfather land mail. I loved you ♥ ❤ 💗 💙 💖 💕 am black and white 😍 ♥ 😋 ❤
Do Africans discuss European problems? Europeans have the rights to do so . You can't take it away from them.
@@redeemafrica6737 tell me any News Channel that calls someone in Africa to discuss European issues.
You are right to define your people of Africa 🌍 and I love you for that ❤ but truth is we going to have real peace for black and white 😍♥ work together good with out the past wickedness from some how the both side in life. No one can enter. You house if the door is not open.
France doing what it does best in Africa
Hi omer, what is the problem is this region, why is this happening, what is Islamists agenda good or bad, or is there mafia behind them,nl what is France doing there
In Africa I know France for colonizing, destroying, stealing, dividing that is what they do best
You are absolutely right Mr Adama Gaye, even if you have removed me from your Facebook followers 'contacts because of some différent points of views . Basically , the international community should stop being hypocritical and tell the civilian heads of states to be respectful to the citizens. Times have changed and they must understand those facts !
It is puzzling ,why these coups are happening in French colonies again and again , there has to be some kind of explanation linked to French parasitism .
Yes...all these former colonies are now ruled by corrupt people that love shopping in Paris...that’s why the coups an fights for power and money...this is the french connection.
Of course FRANCE is involved in all this even a blind person can see it
Sudan?
@@nicholasoneal1521 Egypt and America?
@@lilacer6841 Brunei and Bhutan?
Thank you Adama Gaye for your sensible analysis you hit point
They should learn from Ethiopia and chad. were the president are ready to die for it’s country. Not greedy wicked presidents. Even if you’re stealing, but show the people that you’re active.
chad isn't country but just shityhole dictatorship
@@dahabizizy It is true that Chad didn't get a good leadership since Habre but saying it is a shithol county is insulting, you should do your homework about Chad especially it is history and natural resources, etc.
I don't know to much about this country but I will say that when it comes to France giving nations their independence that is a lie, because they're not able to control their resources or economy. And for a nation to be successful they must be in control of their own resources and money. So if France is going to give a nations their independence, they should also give them back their resources too so that they can be totally independent. What is independence if the people are not able to be in control of their own economics, resources and land . This is why a rich country is so poor all if their resources isnt going to the people or their country because it's going to France. This is why a rich continent like Africa is poor, because colonizer countries make sure to forever have control over rich melinated nation's resources and economics. This they don't want the world to know. Plus the colonizers nations always throw a monkey wrench into nations who wants leave or to flex their independence. Then countries like France turn around and maked it seem like the African nation just turned on it self for no reason. All we have to do is to study history and we will see that the play book is always the same. Love 💘 and light family.
Not much INTEGRITY IN AFRICA LEADERS.
Why don't they do this style of take over in the US ???
Because it wouldn't work. The military doesn't have the power the effectively run the US and in 6 months they'd have 0 support and alot of angry people with guns.
If you have a problem, and have the finance to stop that problem but refuses to release it, what else should happen? The military was right to do what they did. Others should learn.
I'm expecting The military in Ghana to also takeover for us. Enough of madness
@@williamjordanarthur25 Nonsense, go and take over. Fools be making too many foolish statements. What did JJ do for us in 19years? If you don't like the ruling government, vote them out. What best can these fools with glasses provide? Go to mali and burling and see in which conditions people live in. Y'all too free and that nonsense freedom in Ghana is going thru your heads. People who have never laid a block wants everyone to lose.
I don't care about what the politicians will take, I like my freedom and ability to work, will make me rich. Think wisely.
@@williamjordanarthur25 you are mad. Military coup won’t solve our issue.just vote out both ndc and npp out
I watched and wondered if the country in question was Ukraine or Ireland, for example, would they have had a panel of two Europeans and one African?🤔
Mr Adama Gaye is an expert in West African issue he’s right on the money as always
2:21 This is NOT a step backwards, BUT a step forward for democracy in Burkina Faso. The founder of modern democracy, John Locke, noted that citizens have the right, and the duty to overthrow those who are in power who live off the people instead of serving them. It would appear that the government was not doing their job in Burkina Faso. The DUTY of government is to provide protection against internal and external threats, plus provide services for the people. The government FAILED in their duty by not protecting their population. They allowed people to be attacked by external forces continually, they did not feed the soldiers who were tasked with protecting the people. I therefore commend those who removed their government's impotent like leaders from power!
Same military killed Sankara(their best President so far) and messed up for years. What best options are they going to give? France is still going to enjoy. After all they have always been behind these coups.
@@Ghanadiaries Burkina Faso had a leader who was allowing people to be killed by external enemies on a regular basis. The government was not doing anything concrete about it. That is a failure of the state to protect the people, meaning the leaders were incompetent or worse so they needed to be removed, and they were, so this is a good thing, not sure how good this new leadership will be but the old leadership needed to be removed, immediately, for the good of the country and the people.
French and Belgium they were the worse colonisers. Wherever they colonisers they have left chores
Bravo 👏🏽 talk point, great man the black journalist
The solution to insecurity in Africa is to get France out of Africa
This is well good 👍✅ its left with Ghana
Go and try. These military fools are only serving France interest. If they knew how to fight foot the country, they should have fought the terrorists.
Upper Volta..........Revolt again. Sankara's spirit is alive............👊🏼
West Africa and France have a lot to explain to us on what is going on with these coups...
Uganda we are waiting for this 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Another Failed State 😪
This agencies or unions like Africa union and un are all under the influence of dominant nations, in Africa Nigeria will detect the union and un will be detected by the world powers and that is how the minority and indigenous people will continue to suffer because only a power who wants to listen to them can only help them out, this is unfortunate. I am still looking for remedies.
Soon Nigeria army is coming to take over power 🇳🇬💪💪💪💪💪
To mess up even more😂😂😂, if they have anything to offer, they should fight boko haram.
I likes révolution Africa freedoown freedoown Africa
Unless Africans design a mechanism to protect themselves like standing together & preventing foreign interference, the military junta sponsored by alien forces keeps causing mayhem.
Africa is somehow going behind in her Quest for good and normal Governance.
Wow as of 2022 we are slipping behind in our Quest to achieve better things in life and School.
Until the Francophonie in Africa is proscribed and abandoned,the African Continent will forever be in turmoil !
The Francophone countries in Africa, seem to be a liability for a healthy progress in all aspects of advancement on the Whole Continent, and it is time to put an end to these system of things.
I wish them peace.
It is difficult to take any man seriously when he is wearing sunglasses indoors....
He believes that he is a rapper or a rock star...lol
haha he's got some good points but yeah it's pretty funny.
Are you people serious right now? So you don't know that there are people with certain eye conditions who wear sunglasses for reasons other than aesthetics?
@@kindomofghana of course everyone knows that there's people with eye conditions...but believe me most of these people that do believe that it's makes them look kool and that is why they were these dark glasses indoors
@@kindomofghana Not indoors.... The only reason people wear sunglasses indoors is because they are idiots who think it looks cool....
Ghana’s Akuffo Addo should stand well,eebuboba,youth r jobless, hungry & angry.our leaders r selfish nd clueless of how to govern well.
Can you compare Ghana to Burkina? Some of you need free tickets to travel 😂😂😂😂
If democratization can’t help this country how will the military solve this problem.it’s does not make sense at all why does the African think some military man can solves their problems
Good for then!
Are former british colonies more stable than former french colonies?
yes
Yes 💯
No take for example Zimbabwe.
None of them are stable e.g Nigeria. Don't give credit
@@stevenwilliams3015 ye Nigeria 🇳🇬 is definitely not stable but Zambia 🇿🇲, Malawi 🇲🇼, Botswana 🇧🇼, Lesotho 🇱🇸, Kenya 🇰🇪, South Africa 🇿🇦, Ghana 🇬🇭, Eswatini 🇸🇿.
Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 is quite now, Nigeria 🇳🇬 is definitely not stable especially parts of the north and parts of the south.
Oh God why always in West Africa only also in Eastern 😂
# NO MORE

You're welcome to Ghana if you have to flee the violence.
Get France out before peace will return to BF.
@@tauceti8060 Why flee to Ghana when he can defend his country against France? Ghana President us partly responsible for the problems in Mali and now BK,Only when France is out of Africa before Africa will know peace

FIX YOUR COUNTRY!!!
and the post-colonial name given to this part of Africa - Burkino Faso - means Land of Upright Men [sic: People]....so sad ... the aspiration of dignity within the name lost 😔
All this problem in Africa is that most of Africa president wanted to stay longer without good development that is bringing all this problem in africa
A quentessential failed state, the root of this political economic turmoil stated with the killing of Sankara
✊🏽
The most lair who faked to be human rights lawyer is the next. Fraud, mafia and criminal who don't merit under any circumstances to become a leader of African most civilized and the leader of all African countries. Akufu addo is a shame and a mess l wonder why he is potrayed as a leader of this great organization.? . My dream is that it's certain that he will follow up suit. 😥
Hungry people are bitter😂😂😂😂, we won't allow you to destroy our progress so far. We wasted too many years on these coup nonsense and even 19 years of Rawlings didn't turn Ghana into a better place.
Why do you keep saying armed groups when we know that these are Islamic extremists? Call it what it is.
اصلي من اجل السلام🙏 ونصر الشعوب المظلومه✌
You the wicked journalism should ask Borris Johnson and the British terrorist high commission Carolina to conduct a refarandirum in Nigeria to stop terrorism and insecurities in Africa
I think Nicolas Haque and Ali Latifi have the same hairdresser! :) great bunch of new gen reporters
Francophone Africa is fed up.
I think ECOWAS parliament in Nigeria must be disolved and it's organization too must be disbanded because they've deviated from its core mandate as Kwame Nkrumah and other founding fathers in the sub-region instituted.
Good news
Poor leadership and failure to deliver results in a coup in Africa. This has resulted to raise terror attacks and terrorist insurgents

@@alireact1827 go ahead and tell yourself that...I think you believe that....western countries have just perfected the art of the 'coup d'état '....😉Africa has yet to learn how to legitimize the way they do governments.
It is also important to know the full story of what is going on in these countries and then go look at the western country or countries playing a role to actually STEAL from these countries....we always run to the easy comment of 'oh Africa again' ..go find the answers..go look up chalmers johnson on empires..and you will see we are all living in a coup my friend

“The third principles of the religion of Bahá’u’lláh (The promised one
of all ages) is in regard to international peace. There must be peace
between the fatherlands; peace between the religions. In this period of
evolution the world of humanity is in danger. Every war is against the
good pleasure of the Lord of mankind. Man is the edifice of God. War
destroys the divine edifice. Peace is the stay of life; war the cause of
death. If an active, actual peace is brought about, the human world
will attain to the utmost serenity and composure. Wolves will be
transformed into lambs; devils into angels and terrors into divine
splendors in less than the twinkling of an eye.”
(Compilations, Baha'i Scriptures, p. 276)
