Burkina Faso: Ousmane Dicko, Former JNIM Executive, Calls on Terrorists to Lay Down Their Arms

Ouagadougou, Nov. 25, 2025 (AIB) — “The war is in your hands. Return to reason and let Burkina Faso regain its former peace,” declared Ousmane Dicko, also known as Abdoulaye

(28), a former senior member of JNIM (Group for the Support of Islam and Muslims).

Addressing the militant leaders who have waged war against their own country for the past decade, Dicko urged them to stop the violence. Saved by the humanity and professionalism of Burkina Faso’s combat forces, the man—despite his heavy past—now calls on his former companions to trust the sincerity of his plea and to put an end to the suffering of innocent civilians. #BurkinaFaso #OusmaneDicko #PeaceCall #EndViolence #StopTerrorism #SahelSecurity #NationalReconciliation
