The Captain and President of Burkina Faso said a country cannot develop under democracy. He said in his speech:
“We are not in a democracy, we are in a revolution,”
“If we have to say it loud and clear here, we are not in a democracy, we are in a popular, progressive revolution.”
“Everyone needs to understand this. It’s even more surprising that those who are supposed to be intellectuals, who have been to school, can imagine that a country can develop in democracy, that’s false. It’s not possible to name a single country that has developed in democracy. Democracy is only the end result. We must necessarily go through a revolution, and we are indeed in a revolution. For those who haven’t yet understood this, we’re still saying it loud and clear.”
“We will continue to play our role of communicating, explaining, and making people understand what our revolution is. So this question of democracy or libertinism of action or expression has no place. As much as you think you are free to speak and act, the other is also free to speak and act, and there we end up with a society of disorder.”
