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 […]

Avion nigérian forcé d’atterrir : l’AES durcit le ton

Un avion militaire nigérian de type C-130 a été contraint d’atterrir à Bobo-Dioulasso le 8 décembre 2025, provoquant une réaction immédiate et sévère de la Confédération des États du Sahel (AES). Selon le communiqué signé par le général Assimi Goïta, l’appareil a effectué une descente d’urgence alors qu’il survolait le territoire burkinabè. Mais pour l’AES, cet incident dépasse le cadre technique. Les tensions régionales étaient déjà vives : le Nigeria mène depuis la veille une opération militaire au Bénin dans le cadre de la réponse de la CEDEAO à la tentative de coup d’État du 7 décembre. Abuja avait annoncé avoir engagé plusieurs unités dans cette mission, sans préciser les détails opérationnels. L’AES dénonce une violation grave de son espace aérien L’enquête menée par Ouagadougou conclut que le C-130 ne disposait d’aucune autorisation officielle pour traverser l’espace aérien burkinabè.

Burkina Faso approves new draft Labor Code at Council of Ministers

Burkina Faso’s government has approved a new draft Labor Code during the Council of Ministers held on November 27, 2025, chaired by Captain Ibrahim Traoré. According to government spokesperson Pingdwendé Gilbert Ouédraogo, the decisions taken reflect the ongoing push for transformation inspired by the Popular Progressive Revolution. The Ministry of Public Service led the reform, introducing several major changes meant to modernize labor relations and tighten regulations around employment practices. Minister Mathias Traoré highlighted one of the key updates: stricter rules for placement agencies and temporary work. Under the new framework, temporary workers must receive the same pay as permanent employees holding equivalent positions within the hiring company. Another safeguard prevents any individual with direct or indirect interests in the hiring company from signing a personnel placement contract. The reform also significantly reshapes the fixed-term contract. A fixed-term contract can […]

NECO accredits Burkina Faso schools for SSCE, BECE

The National Examinations Council (NECO) has accredited selected schools in Burkina Faso to host its Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) and Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE).

Burkina Faso: contrôle national des plaques d’immatriculation et sanctions des concessionnaires

La Direction Générale des Transports Terrestres et Maritimes, en partenariat avec Supernet Technologie Holding, a lancé une grande opération de contrôle des plaques d’immatriculation. Débutée le 17 novembre 2025, cette mission se poursuivra jusqu’en décembre sur l’ensemble du territoire. Elle vise à mettre fin aux plaques mal posées, défectueuses ou non conformes aux normes en vigueur. Depuis les arrêtés de 2017 et la modernisation des cartes grises en 2019, les autorités constatent un non-respect persistant des cahiers des charges par certains concessionnaires. Beaucoup de plaques blanchissent prématurément ou sont mal fixées, alors qu’elles sont censées être garanties dix ans. L’opération actuelle a un objectif simple : assainir le système. Les équipes contrôlent l’authenticité des cartes grises, des hologrammes et recensent les plaques défaillantes en identifiant clairement les concessionnaires et leurs fournisseurs. Pour cela, la DGTTM utilise un PDA, un appareil […]
