Burkina Faso has strongly condemned the deadly terror attack that took place near Ankara, Turkey’s capital, describing it as a “barbaric and cowardly” act.
The attack, which occurred on Wednesday outside the headquarters of Turkey’s defense industries, left at least five people dead and over 20 others injured.
In a statement on Thursday, Burkina Faso’s President, Captain Ibrahim Traoré, expressed solidarity with the Turkish people and their President, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
“I offer my deepest compassion and solidarity to the people of Turkey and to President Erdoğan following this tragic and senseless attack,” Traoré said.
He also condemned the assault in the strongest terms, calling it “a cowardly and barbaric act aimed at undermining our shared efforts in the fight against terrorism.”
President Traoré reiterated his country’s commitment to battling terrorism alongside international allies.
“We remain steadfast in our resolve to fight against this scourge, standing shoulder to shoulder with our allies and all those who work towards achieving lasting peace across the world,” he added.
The terror attack has shocked the nation of Turkey and garnered widespread international condemnation.
The assailants targeted a strategic location in Ankara, with authorities describing the incident as a deliberate attempt to destabilize the country.
This violent attack is a stark reminder of the ongoing global threat of terrorism, which continues to claim lives and disrupt peace efforts.
Leaders across the world, including Burkina Faso’s Captain Traoré, are reaffirming their determination to unite in combating extremism and bringing about peace.
This latest attack has intensified calls for stronger international cooperation to counter terrorism and safeguard civilians from such atrocities.
