The proposed amnesty law outlines specific conditions for eligibility, including acknowledging involvement in the coup, demonstrating good behavior, expressing patriotism, and willingness to serve in the military.
The 2015 coup, led by General Gilbert Diendere, was a brief but significant event in Burkina Faso’s history. The coup plotters were eventually defeated by loyalist forces and civilian resistance.
While the government’s decision to consider amnesty has sparked debate, it aims to promote reconciliation and national unity. However, it remains to be seen how this move will be perceived by the public and the victims of the coup.
