@africahistory1: Burkina Faso's President, Ibrahim Traoré, has declared that Sharia law will never be implemented in the country, stating that the Constitution remains the supreme law and that every citizen is free to practise their religion. Traoré, who is Muslim and came to power in the 2022 military coup, also criticised hundreds of Burkinabè students studying Sharia in Saudi Arabia. He questioned why they chose religious studies over technical and vocational skills needed for national development, reportedly advising them not to return unless they could contribute to the country's progress. #africanhistory #africantikok #dandegreat
