Ibrahim Traoré nommé président de l’AES à Bamako

Réunis à Bamako pour leur deuxième sommet depuis la création de l’Alliance des États du Sahel (AES), les dirigeants du Mali, du Burkina Faso et du Niger ont affiché une volonté commune de consolider leur projet confédéral. Cette rencontre visait à faire le point sur les avancées enregistrées et à fixer de nouvelles orientations pour renforcer l’intégration sécuritaire, financière et médiatique de l’espace sahélien. Malgré une arrivée différée du président burkinabè, Ibrahim Traoré, les chefs d’État ont tenu à montrer une image d’unité. À l’issue des travaux, il a été officiellement désigné président de la Confédération des États du Sahel pour un mandat d’un an, conformément au principe de rotation acté lors du précédent sommet de Niamey. Il succède ainsi au général Assimi Goïta, dont le rôle dans la mise en place des premières structures de l’AES a été salué […]

Questions trail NAF aircraft’s onward flight to Portugal

Fresh questions have emerged over the onward journey of the Nigerian Air Force C 130 aircraft that made an emergency landing in Burkina Faso while heading to Portugal for maintenance. Although officials earlier said the plane and its 11 man crew had been cleared to continue their mission, there is still no clear public confirmation on when it actually departed Bobo Dioulasso for Europe.​ The aircraft was on a ferry mission to Portugal on 8 December when the crew detected a technical fault after takeoff from Lagos and carried out a precautionary landing in Bobo Dioulasso, in line with international aviation safety procedures. Burkina Faso authorities subsequently held the plane and personnel, claiming an airspace violation, which triggered a diplomatic row and heightened regional tensions.​ Following high level talks in Ouagadougou led by Nigeria’s Foreign Affairs Minister, Yusuf Tuggar, the […]

Burkina Faso frees detained Nigerian aircraft and 11 troops

The Federal Government has confirmed the release of the Nigerian Air Force C-130 aircraft and 11 soldiers who were detained in Burkina Faso after a forced landing.​ The confirmation came on Wednesday night from the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Kimiebi Ebienfa, who said the aircraft and personnel had been released. He simply stated that they had been freed following diplomatic efforts.​ Their release followed a meeting in Ouagadougou between Nigeria’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Tuggar, and Burkina Faso’s junta leader, Ibrahim Traoré. Tuggar, who led a Nigerian delegation, explained that the visit was at the request of President Bola Tinubu to resolve the incident and strengthen relations between both countries.​ The incident occurred nearly two weeks earlier when a Nigerian Air Force C-130 transport aircraft, carrying 11 soldiers, made a forced or precautionary landing in Bobo […]

NAF denies espionage claims over C-130 landing in Burkina Faso

The Nigerian Air Force has rejected reports that its C-130 transport aircraft currently in Burkina Faso was engaged in espionage or was forced to land by Burkinabe authorities. In a detailed clarification, NAF described the claims circulating online as false, misleading and capable of inflaming public sentiment and straining regional relations.​ According to the statement, the C-130 was on a duly approved ferry flight from Lagos to Portugal for scheduled depot maintenance when the crew observed a technical issue on 8 December 2025. In line with standard aviation safety procedures, the aircraft diverted to the nearest suitable airfield, Bobo-Dioulasso in Burkina Faso, where it made a precautionary landing.​ NAF stressed that the flight had no operational tasking and was not deployed for any combat, intelligence, surveillance or signals collection mission. Officials said the aircraft carried all required documentation and clearances, […]

NAF aircraft in Burkina Faso was on ferry mission, not covert operation

A senior Nigerian military source has dismissed claims that a Nigerian Air Force aircraft was on a clandestine mission in Burkina Faso. The source explained that the C-130 transport plane was on a scheduled ferry mission to Portugal when it made an emergency diversion to Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso, after the crew noticed a technical issue.​ According to the source, the diversion followed standard aviation safety procedures and was not linked to any combat, intelligence, or political operation in Burkina Faso or the wider Sahel region. The aircraft reportedly headed to the nearest suitable airfield to ensure the safety of the crew and passengers, in line with international aviation protocols.​ The Nigerian Air Force has also clarified in earlier statements that Burkina Faso did not ground the aircraft but received it after the precautionary landing. The crew and the other Nigerian […]

FG Says Detained NAF C 130 Plane 11 Soldiers Still Not Released

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has confirmed that a Nigerian Air Force C 130 aircraft and 11 military personnel being held in Burkina Faso remain in detention, days after the incident that led to their stoppage. The clarification follows conflicting media reports suggesting that the troops had already been freed.​ The aircraft, on a ferry mission to Portugal, reportedly developed a technical issue shortly after leaving Lagos on 8 December 2025. In line with international aviation procedures, the crew made a precautionary landing at Bobo Dioulasso airfield in Burkina Faso, identified as the nearest suitable airport.​ However, authorities under the Confederation of Sahel States, which includes Burkina Faso, treated the landing as an unauthorised entry into their airspace. The regional bloc subsequently placed its air and anti aircraft systems on high alert and ordered an investigation into the circumstances of […]

Classement FIFA : chute marquée des Éperviers Dames

Le nouveau classement féminin FIFA/Coca-Cola, publié le 11 décembre, apporte un coup dur au football féminin togolais. Après plusieurs mois rythmés par les compétitions africaines et les qualifications pour la Coupe du monde 2027, les Éperviers Dames reculent nettement sur la scène internationale. En août 2025, la sélection occupait la 120ᵉ place mondiale. Elle glisse désormais au 134ᵉ rang, soit l’un de ses reculs les plus marqués depuis 2023, période durant laquelle elle évoluait dans une fourchette relativement stable, entre les 120ᵉ et 122ᵉ positions. Cette baisse s’explique principalement par les performances enregistrées lors des qualifications pour le Mondial féminin. Opposées au Burkina Faso en octobre, les Togolaises se sont inclinées 1-0 à l’aller puis 2-0 au retour. Cette double contre-performance a eu un impact immédiat sur le coefficient FIFA. Le classement met aussi en lumière la dynamique continentale. Le […]

Nigeria Sahel allies clash over detained military plane and soldiers

Nigeria and the Alliance of Sahel States are giving sharply different accounts of how a Nigerian Air Force C 130 transport plane and 11 soldiers ended up detained in Burkina Faso. The aircraft made an emergency landing in Bobo Dioulasso on Monday, but the incident has now triggered a wider diplomatic dispute over alleged airspace violations.​ The Alliance of Sahel States which includes Burkina Faso Mali and Niger insists the Nigerian plane entered its airspace without permission and was forced to land. In a joint statement the bloc called the episode a serious breach of sovereignty and said its air and anti aircraft defences have been placed on high alert with orders to neutralise any further unauthorised flights.​ Nigerian authorities reject the accusation and say the C 130 crew diverted to Bobo Dioulasso only after detecting a technical fault while […]

Nigerian military plane grounded in Burkina Faso over airspace row

A Nigerian Air Force C 130 transport plane carrying 11 soldiers has been grounded in Burkina Faso over an alleged violation of the country’s airspace. The aircraft was forced to land in the southwestern city of Bobo Dioulasso after what officials described as an in flight emergency while transiting Burkinabe airspace.​ According to a statement from the Confederation of Sahel States known as AES the plane had two crew members and nine passengers all of them Nigerian military personnel. AES which groups the military led governments of Burkina Faso Mali and Niger said an investigation showed the aircraft did not have authorisation to fly over Burkina Faso.​ The bloc condemned the incident as a serious violation of its airspace and the sovereignty of its member states and said its air defence systems had been placed on high alert. It warned […]
