Burkina Faso: Pro-government activists plan to rally at the Municipal Stadium in Ouagadougou from 08:00 May 11

Pro-government activists to rally at the Municipal Stadium in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, from 08:00 May 11. Localized disruptions possible.

Warning

Pro-government activists plan to stage a rally at the Municipal Stadium in Ouagadougou from 08:00 May 11. The purpose of the event is to show support for the transitional government led by President Ibrahime Traore. It remains unclear how many participants the gathering may draw.

A heightened security presence and localized transport and business disruptions are likely in the vicinity of the stadium during the rally. Clashes with security forces cannot be ruled out, particularly of anti-government activists attempt to assemble nearby.

Avoid the rally as a standard precaution. Consider using alternative routes if operating near the impacted area. Heed the instructions of local authorities. If violence occurs, leave the area immediately and take shelter in a secure, nongovernmental building.
