Is Democracy Necessary for Development? Exploring Burkina Faso’s Shift

It is difficult to determine which country has developed democracy.

During a flag-raising ceremony at the Koulouba Palace last week, in a spirited declaration, Captain Ibrahim Traoré, the leader of Burkina Faso, proclaimed that his nation is experiencing a vibrant transformation—a “popular, progressive revolution”—rather than adhering to the conventional confines of a democratic framework.

Traore was notable for his decision after his founding  as president of Burkina-faso, He criticized the idea that  democracy is a prerequisite for development, and said it is wrong to believe that a country has developed under a democratic system. We must absolutely experience a revolution, and we are certainly in revolution. 

He insisted that his government would communicate, explain, and let people understand what revolution is.
