Burkina Faso’s military-led government has dissolved all political parties and scrapped the legal framework governing their operations. This is going by a decree approved by the West African nation’s council of ministers on Thursday. He said a government review found that the multiplication of political parties had fuelled divisions and weakened social cohesion. Before the coup, the country had more than 100 registered political parties, with 15 represented in parliament after the 2020 general election. The decree disbands all political parties and political formations.
