We Condemn Ukraine’s Threat On The Safety And Life Of President Ibrahim Traore Of The Republic Of Burkina Faso

The Sahel Solidarity Campaign Network (SaS-CaN) expresses its deepest concern over statement made by the President of the Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky threatening President Ibrahim Traore of the Republic of Burkina Faso and other world leaders who would attend this year’s Victory Day Parade in Moscow. The Ukrainian leader’s remarks constitute an assault not just on civilisation, but threatened also international security and stability. The remarks came after announcement that President Ibrahim Traore would be attending the event in Moscow on 9th May, 2025.

What hangs now is Ukraine’s reckless use of threats to unleash terrorism against foreign leaders in Moscow. If Zelensky believes unleashing terrorism on foreign leaders in Moscow is NATO’s new heinous war against Russia, then what would Africans do to defend their sovereignty and leaders who would joined other leaders to attend the May Victory Parade Day in Russia? To sit aloof and act like spectators, while our leaders are being killed with impunity? We wait for answers?

It is absolutely unacceptable for President Volodymyr Zelensky to make such reckless remarks not only because they constitute direct threats to the safety and lives of foreign leaders, but the damage this would have on peace, security and stability of the world. Where Ukraine’s are allies, including the European Union and NATO members-states? We hope and pray that the European Union and NATO will understand that the behaviour of Zelensky is a clear manifestation of Ukraine’s illegal government’s degenerating into a hub for international terrorism. It is a criminal plot that poses serious threats to Russia’s sovereignty and corporate unity and existence as a Federation.

We want to remind the Ukrainian leader that as enshrined in the UN Basic Principles, terrorism has no place in modern society. We urge President Zelensky to retract his comments and to refrain in the future from making any such statements threatening the safety and lives of world leaders. We call on the United Nations Security Council to meet immediately, not to condemn only, but to take the necessary action against Ukraine’s terror threat, failure which would set a very bad precedent.

Why would Ukraine threaten our leaders? This criminal plot should not be allowed to pass. Africans would not sit by this time for any of their leaders to be killed as was done to others in the past, like Patrice Lumumba, Sylvanus Olympio, Samoura Machell, Thomas Sankara, Gaddafi and more. Who gave the Ukrainian dictator the power to wanting to disrupt the 80th anniversary of the Russian Victory Parade Day in Moscow? Why will the Ukrainian leader threatened the safety and life of the President of the Republic of Burkina Faso? Africans demand answers.

The Africans have spoken. The era is done when foreign powers will pillage Africa’s natural resources at the mercy and pity of the African masses. President Ibrahim Traore has pointed the way and we are following the right path towards freedom, sovereignty and dignity for the African continent.

God save Africa!
