PRIME MINISTER JEAN EMMANUEL OUEDRAOGO: YOUTH CHOICE AND PERFORMANCE
Ouagadougou, december 8, 2024 (AIB) - The President of Faso, Captain Ibrahim Traoré, has placed his confidence in his Minister of State, the Minister of Communications, Culture, Arts and Tourism, Mr. Rimtalba Jean Emmanuel Ouédraogo, an action by the Government of Burkina Faso. Next Saturday, December 7, 2024. A general surprise for some,but for informed observers this appointment was one of the predictions made regarding the vague man who could succeed Mise Apollinaire Kyélem de tambèla was released from his duties the day before. This, given the commitment of the new Prime Minister, his performance and his charisma.
The man has achieved a streak as he joined the government on 27 October 2022 as Minister of Communications, Culture, Arts and Tourism.
In fact, in just two years in this ministerial department, Mr. Jean Emmanuel Ouédraogo has given a new dimension to Dialog and Culture by putting government communication at the heart of the fight against terrorism and cultural heritage as its foundation.
He set the tone when he took office,urging his colleagues to overcome themselves and above all patriotism.
Because of his leadership it was possible to dismantle the lies and manipulations of certain media in the West. We still remember the hype in the media that announced President Traoré as an injured person and that was about to happen in June 2024 as well as the imaginary rebellions they reported on.
One trip from the Head of State, especially for a blood donation and a visit to Radio-Television Burkina (RTB) was enough to remove the masks and show everyone’s true intentions. What can we say about the details from the front and the grate interest of the Burkinabe after it?
The images of the battles and attacks for the recapture of the national territory allowed many of them to discover the initial realities and especially the sacrifices of the soldiers and the Volunteers for the Defense of the Fatherland (VDP).
These were never as respected and honored as during the Transitional Period. The galvanic messages,the testimonies,the calls for peace are followed with emotion and compassion.
National pride and patriotism are now shared values, at least for Burkinabè peopel who are worried about the future of their country.
Heritage month was also established to call for a return to the basics and cultural reference values. The cultural weapon is an integral part of the war strategy. The cultural meetings (SNC,FESPACO,SITHO,etc.) and information (UACO, GALIAN, etc.) were appreciated because the fight is taking place in all aspects.
We cannot hide the brave decision to suspend Radio France Internationale, welcomed by the people of Burkinabè, and the Turkish response given by Mr. rimtalba Jean Emmanuel OUEDRAOGO to President Emmanuel macron, regarding the announced departure of the French army in Burkina Faso, in January 2023.
He is a journalist by profession and occupation, it must be said that the role of Government Spokesman has been fulfilled excellently by the new Prime Minister. The normal person woudl say to this experienced communicator, who was twice valedictorian of his class in 2007 for cycle B and in 2015 for cycle A of the Institute of Information and Communication Sciences and Techniques (ISTIC) and holder of a Master’s degree in Mediation and in conflict management, received in 2022 from the Department of Philosophy at Joseph KI-ZERBO University and has a degree He also holds a bachelor’s degree in sociology and rural sociology. developed.
Should we expect less from him whose compasses are excellence and performance.
To say the least, his profession helped him. Having been a journalist, presenter and Editor-in-Chief and Director of Burkina national television, communication has no secret for him.
These prosperous shows: “Techno Inno”,”Zoommine” “Vision environment” “priorite environment” “Sur la breche” gave him the possibility to strengthen his knowlege of the economic and political environment of the country.
His promotion to the rank of Minister of State after the ministerial reshuffle on 17 December 2023 showed the weight he had within the government and the confidence he had in the President.
This appointment to the position of Prime Minister, at the age of 42, Mr. Rimtalba Jean Emmanuel OUEDRAOGO reinforces the idea that the Head of State is in touch with the youth in his mission to regain the territory and tranquility of the country.
So the Prime Minister has no choice but to succeed in this mission. The rival government in which he has fully invested has certainly won many victories but now it is the new government that is given the final victory.
Good luck Prime minister! May God and the manes of the ancestors be with you.
