The Burkinabe army has received new military hardware to aid in the Sahel region’s fight against terrorism.

“The country has in 2023 acquired military equipment including drones and armored vehicles worth around $415 million to beef up the army’s capacity in the fight against terrorism,” the post on Twitter read.

The army is anticipated to use a number of Buffalo armored trucks, which Zagazola published images of.

After Christian Roch Marc Kabore, who had been democratically elected, was overthrown in a double coup in 2022, Burkina Faso is now governed by the military.

Later, Ibrahim Traore replaced Sandaogo Damiba as the head of the junta. The last two leaders of Burkina Faso were removed as a result of the recent terrorist bloodshed that has ravaged the country.
