President Ibrahim Traoré's decision to participate in President John Mahama's inauguration ceremony at the Independence Square on January 07, 2025, has caught the attention of the Ghanaian public.
The significance of his participation in the ceremony, goes beyond the event itself, especially considering the context of the current instability in Burkina Faso.
To see a military leader leave his country, even momentarily, amid such insecurity is remarkable.
The visit was not just about a symbolic gesture; it represents a shift in Ghana-Burkina Faso relations that many did not foresee, especially after the tensions that arose under Akufo-Addo's presidency.
