Terrorism and mobility in Burkina Faso: obstacles to development and solutions for the future

Terrorism and mobility in Burkina Faso: obstacles to development and solutions for the future

Abstract
This article examines the repercussions of growing insecurity, particularly linked to terrorism, on mobility and development in Burkina Faso. The aim is to examine the impact of this insecurity on internal travel and to highlight potential levers for strengthening the resilience of transport systems in the face of current security challenges. An analysis based on a literature review reveals that insecurity has profoundly disrupted mobility, hampering trade and restricting access to essential services, particularly in rural areas. However, community initiatives and the establishment of secure corridors have been put in place to mitigate these negative impacts. Although these efforts have led to a partial improvement in mobility and a limited recovery of the economy, it is imperative that the government, in partnership with the international community, step up its actions in terms of security and strengthen transport infrastructures. At the same time, support for resilience programmes targeting vulnerable populations must be a priority in order to provide a sustainable response to the challenges posed by this persistent insecurity.
