Russia Reopens Embassy In Burkina Faso After Over 31 Year Hiatus

Russia Reopens Embassy In Burkina Faso After Over 31 Year Hiatus - In a significant geopolitical development, Russia has officially reestablished its diplomatic presence in Burkina Faso after a hiatus spanning over three decades. The reopening of the embassy in the capital city, Ouagadougou, on Thursday marks a pivotal moment in Burkina Faso’s foreign relations, signaling a noteworthy departure from its historical ties with France. This diplomatic move comes in the aftermath of the September 2022 coup in Burkina Faso, which not only triggered political changes but also strained diplomatic relations with Paris. The Foreign Ministry of the landlocked Western African nation affirmed the formal reopening of the embassy, highlighting the event as a key indicator of Burkina Faso’s evolving global alliances The diplomatic history between Burkina Faso and the Soviet Union commenced on February 18, 1967, with the establishment of formal relations. Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Burkina Faso acknowledged Russia as the successor state to the USSR. However, despite the recognition, financial considerations played a decisive role in the subsequent closure of embassies between the two nations. In 1992, the embassy of the Russian Federation in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, was closed, marking a period of interruption in diplomatic ties. This move was mirrored in 1996 when Burkina Faso shuttered its embassy in Moscow ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ✅SUPPORT US /AFFILIATE LINKS Use this affiliate link for your purchases at #MIZIZI International - Support our channel - PayPal: newafricachannel(at) Follow us on Instagram - Follow us on Twitter - Join us on Facebook - ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ✅COPYRIGHT DISCLAIMER The New Africa Channel doesn’t fully own some of the materials compiled in its videos.
