Senegalese President Bassirou Diomaye Faye made an impassioned plea for regional unity
and deeper bilateral cooperation with Burkina Faso on Thursday, even as the West African nation’s junta stood firm on plans to quit the region’s main political and economic bloc.
“But above all, I came to reaffirm my commitment, and Senegal’s commitment, to the brotherly people of Burkina Faso, and to invite him so that together we can work to strengthen relations between the two countries, on the commercial level, on the level of trade, on the level of integration and possible movement between the two countries, through the Malian stage too, for a better movement of goods and people, in the sense of achieving integration, which is very close to our hearts.
“We have common challenges, and today it’s the security challenge that is the most pressing, the challenge of irregular migration, the challenge of the fight against human trafficking and the trafficking of illicit substances. And it’s only by working together, exchanging intelligence and carrying out joint operations that we’ll be able to get the upper hand on these modern-day scourges that are currently plaguing many countries and, as I said earlier, holding back their development.
