 In 2024-Situation in Burkina Faso

Topic:
Country: Malta (UNSC)
Delegate Name: Brayden Beson

In 2014, Burkina Faso, a landlocked country in West Africa faced a monumental shift in leadership when the former President was overthrown, ending his 27-year run. In 2022 however, a military junta led by the Patriotic Movement for Safeguard and Restoration (PMSR) led the country to experience a drastic increase in extremist groups and their influence on the people of Burkina Faso.

With the many humanitarian and safety issues brought to the UN concern, Malta aims to find solutions to decrease the influence of militant and extremist groups, allowing for more sustainable and efficient aid, especially for the millions left without healthcare, food, and water. Malta seeks both short and long-term solutions to ensure the stability of the people and security of Burkina Faso.
