Burkina Faso President, Ibrahim Traoré is making waves on social media following an impactful speech he delivered on Thursday, July 16, 2026.
Traore who was addressing representatives from the Yagha region in Ouagadougou focused on two important areas: religion and education.
He stated that, his administration is committed to religious diversity and will not enforce any particular faith or belief system on the citizens.
“I am a Muslim, but everyone in Burkina Faso has the right to practice their own religion. There will never be Sharia law here,” he said.
Traoré further highlighted a severe mismatch between the country's current educational outputs and its critical societal needs. According to him, many young Burkinabes are focusing on studying abstract theories, particularly religious scholarship.
He added further that, the focus of the country’s educational system will shift entirely towards STEM to meet the demands of modern development. “We need people with technological skills to build our nation, not Sharia scholars,” Traore said.
