π§π« π«π· Just In: In an official statement, France has ordered Burkina Faso to close its embassy in Paris. The BurkinabΓ¨ diplomats are given 7 days to leave France, as we expected anyway.
I see many Ivorians online celebrating and praising France for the move. They said France is giving a lesson to Captain IB π. They don't know that this move is very normal and was expected after Burkina Faso severed diplomatic relations with France.
π Latest updates on the Burkina side:
The last French diplomats have left Ouagadougou early morning at 4am local time. More than 10 of the French embassy armored vehicles were seen being evacuated en route towards Ghana under the supervision of Burkina security authorities.
According to Burkina Army (in an official statement), the massive attacks in the East and North of Burkina Faso in the last few days were part of the retaliation that France said it was preparing against Burkina for cutting the diplomats relations.
Closing Burkina embassy and expelling the diplomats in Paris is another part of the retaliation. We'll be waiting for more parts in the near future which will certainly be more terrorist attacks! But Burkina will be ready. An army that's been at war for over 10 years, fears nothing.
Homeland or death, Burkina Faso will succeed.

Mali π²π±, led by President General Assimi GoΓ―ta, has announced that Grade 9 students will no longer study the French Revolution or French history.
The government decided to remove the 1789 French Revolution from the school curriculum to focus more on Malian and African history instead of colonial-era European topics.
π¨ Breaking News- Burkina Faso π§π«, Mali π²π± and Niger π³πͺ withdraw from the International Criminal Court (ICC) starting from this day, September 22nd, 2025.
I have been looking forward to this day. The ICC is a corrupt institution that is there to prosecute Africans, never westerners. So, what do we have to do with them? We must simply withdraw from it.
@GoitaAssimi@CapitaineIb226 and General Tiani @NIGER_CNSP, yβall making me proud! Respect! One love β€οΈ!
