Burkina Faso's military government has expelled three French diplomats, declaring them persona non grata due to alleged 'subversive activities'. This action was confirmed through a letter from Burkina Faso's foreign ministry to the French embassy, which was viewed by multiple news agencies including Reuters and AFP. The diplomats have been given 48 hours to leave the country. This expulsion comes under the leadership of Captain Ibrahim Traoré, who took power in a September 2022 coup and has since pivoted Burkina Faso's alliances towards Russia, including shutting down France's military base in the country.
