The ruling military junta in Burkina Faso has issued a decree that completely dissolves all political parties in the country. Previously, political parties were prohibited from organizing public events but were still allowed to function internally.
This new measure eliminates all formal political party activities and structures. The junta has not announced a timeline for the restoration of political party activities or a return to civilian rule.
**Why this matters**
The dissolution of political parties marks a significant step in Burkina Faso’s political transition following the military takeover. It restricts political pluralism and could impact the country’s prospects for democratic governance and political stability.
