A doctor was detained and sent to the front lines after criticizing Captain Ibrahim Traore, the president of Burkina Faso, for allegedly doing nothing to combat terrorism.
According to reports, the president stated that since he thinks he is more knowledgeable about terrorism than the military, he should be permitted to directly assist to the fight against it.
There are those who believe that Speaking about war is simple, but experiencing it firsthand on the front lines is difficult. We have the right to free expression, of course, but let’s set limits and respect others’ rights. It’s not easy to go to war. Always show warriors respect.
Others believe It’s not the ideal strategy; leaders must take a lot of criticism and still tolerate it without retaliating against the critic. It suppresses criticism and opens a can of worms, which is bad. It is immoral to arrest him and put his life at peril.
He was merely advocating for more forceful measures to combat terrorism in his beloved nation.
