JOINT MOTION FOR A RESOLUTION on the continued crackdown on civic space and fundamental freedoms in Burkina Faso
The document linked is the European Parliament Joint Motion for a Resolution (RC-B10-0318/2026), which was tabled on June 17, 2026, and officially adopted the following day.
The resolution was the direct catalyst that triggered the final, complete rupture of diplomatic ties between Burkina Faso and France.
Although relations had been steadily collapsing for years, the events surrounding the June 18, 2026, resolution rapidly accelerated the final break, which occurred on June 26, 2026. #local
