How do African leaders deal with their other leaders working under them who are lax about their duties? Once again, President Traore has set a precedent for African leaders to follow, when it comes to this issue. You see, recently President Traore dismissed two high-ranking military officers who abandoned their duties and refused to show up for work. However, some people have criticized Traore’s decision to dismiss these officers, calling it an attempt by Traore to show that he is in control. But is that what this is all about? And what exactly did these officers do? Let's find out.

In a country such as Burkina Faso, which is constantly faced with the threat of insecurity and terrorist attacks, it is very important that all hands, especially those in the military, are on deck to deal with the insecurity. This is why President Traore decided to dismiss two top military officers who went missing and abandoned their duties for six days. This was not a matter of them taking a day off or sick leave, it was a clear case of dereliction of duty. Interestingly the two officials had very important roles to play in the Burkinabe military, yet they went ahead to abandon their duty. One of the officials was a commander who was responsible for logistics.
