The Chairperson of the African Union Commission, Dlamini Zuma, has commended President Goodluck Jonathan and ECOWAS Chairman, John Dramani-Mahama of Ghana, for their role in restoring constitutional order in Burkina Faso.
This is contained in a statement issued by the Commission’s Information and Communication Directorate on Tuesday in Addis Ababa.
The authorities in Ouagadugou, the Burkinabe capital, on Sunday appointed former Foreign Minster, Michel Kafando, as transitional president, ending the short military rule, after the former president, Blaise Campoare resigned last month.
“Zuma commends President Macky Sall of Senegal, Chairman of the Contact Group on Burkina Faso, Goodluck Jonathan of Nigeria, and Faure Gnassingbe of Togo, for their important role in supporting the Burkinabe people and stakeholders.
“She also welcomes the contribution of the joint AU/ECOWAS/United Nations (UN) missions, comprising the AU Special Envoy, the President of the ECOWAS Commission, Kadre Desire Ouedraogo, and the United Nations Special Representative for West Africa, Mohamed Ibn Chambas, the News Agency of Nigeria quoted the Commission as saying in the statement.
Zuma hailed the significant progress made in Burkina Faso towards the establishment of a civilian-led transition, in conformity with the aspirations of the people of Burkina Faso for change and the consolidation of democracy.
