This is a joint press release from Burkina and Mali taken up by the Burkina Information Agency (AIB).

“The Transitional Governments of Burkina Faso and Mali have read with deep amazement the Minutes of the Meeting of the Council of Ministers of the 55th session of the Council of Ministers of the Organization for the Harmonization of Business Law in Africa ( OHADA) held in Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of Congo, on August 29 and 30, 2023.

Indeed, contrary to the story mentioned in this report, the representatives of Burkina Faso and Mali, both Ministers in charge of Justice, mentioned several grievances and breaches violating the operating rules of OHADA, within the framework of the recruitment process tainted with formal and substantive defects, with a view to filling the post of Permanent Secretary and other international positions.

One of the root causes of these fraudulent recruitments is the blackmail carried out by the French Development Agency, which openly threatened to withdraw its funding, in the event that candidates favorable to it were not chosen.

This is how numerous illegal maneuvers, consisting of abusively removing the floor from representatives of Burkina Faso and Mali or even disconnecting the video-conferencing system from other participants, were deployed during the work.

Exasperated by these unfair maneuvers and tired of not having been heard, the representatives of Burkina Faso and Mali withdrew from the room.

The Transitional Governments of Burkina Faso and Mali denounce, regret the concealment of the press release of these serious facts and refuse to participate in a charade which violates the sovereignty of African States and discredits OHADA.

Consequently, the Transitional Governments of Burkina Faso and Mali will send a letter of protest to OHADA for:

1. denounce the irregularities, violations of texts and obvious conflicts of interest, which marred the recruitment process, during the 55th session of the Council of Ministers;

2. call for the suspension of the installation process of irregularly and illegally recruited personnel;

3.resume the Minutes of the Meeting of the Council of Ministers of the 55th session of the Council of Ministers, with a view to faithfully mentioning the progress of the work, in particular the protests of Burkina Faso and the
Mali ;

4.ask the Conference of Heads of State and Government of OHADA to urgently address the situation.

The Transitional Governments of Burkina Faso and Mali warn that they will take legal action in the event of force. May God bless Africa and preserve Africans!
