Ibrahim Traoré : « On a beaucoup de sociétés qui ont été (créées) dans le domaine de la guerre uniquement »
The President of Burkina Faso, Captain Ibrahim Traoré, met on Monday, September 21st, with the winners of the Hakili Mousso science competition. This competition aims to promote female scientific excellence and encourage young girls to pursue careers in science.

In his address to the young award winners, Captain Traoré explained that the country needs scientists to develop. He therefore encouraged them to pursue careers as engineers in mechanical engineering, mechatronics, electronics, etc.
"We initially failed with some models (of light armored vehicles)."
Scientific progress is already being made in the field of warfare, the leader indicated. He specifically mentioned light armored vehicles manufactured in Burkina Faso.

“It’s a scientific process we’ve undertaken. We asked ourselves: what is our wartime situation? What do we want for our men, given our terrain? It’s a scientific process that needs to be done to create something that adapts to our context. That’s what we’ve tried to do. Since 2023, we’ve been thinking about this and we initially failed with some models (of a light armored vehicle); but today we have a model that is almost perfect and that we are very proud of,” said Captain Traoré.
More than 300 armored vehicles already produced
The company that produces these armored vehicles is called Faso Armor. Since November 2025, it "has produced more than 300 armored vehicles and more than half of this production is already pre-positioned in the field for major operations to come," said the President of Faso, not without pride.
He also indicated that other models of Light Armored Vehicle have already been developed and are in production.
"We have many companies, 4 to 5, that were created solely in the field of war," asserts the commander-in-chief of Burkina Faso.
