Burkina Faso: Traore-led Junta Govt Rejects Deportees from US | Firstpost Africa

Junta-led Burkina Faso has refused to accept deportees from the United States, rejecting one of President Donald Trump’s signature migration policies. The military government called the proposal “indecent” and contrary to human dignity. While several African nations, including Eswatini, Ghana, Rwanda, Uganda, and South Sudan, have agreed to take U.S. deportees, Burkina Faso stood firm, accusing Washington of pressure and blackmail. The move comes amid the country’s anti-Western stance under Captain Ibrahim Traoré, who has ousted Western troops and strengthened ties with Russia. Critics warn that such deportations raise human rights and ethical concerns, leaving deportees vulnerable and Africa a dumping ground.
