The President of Burkina Faso, Captain Ibrahim Traore, hosted the opening ceremony for the 2025-2026 judicial year in Ouagadougou on Wednesday, aiming to restore public trust and strengthen the justice system.

Footage shows judges and dignitaries entering the hall and standing for the national anthem. The ceremony also features ministers, military officials, and foreign representatives, as the government focuses on judicial reform and regional cooperation.

The country's Minister of Justice and Human Rights, Edasso Rodrigue Bayala, stressed the importance of restoring public confidence in the justice system.

"To restore, or at least strengthen, trust between the public and the justice system, we need to work on the factors that undermine this trust,” he said, adding, "When a litigant goes to court, he’s like a sick person going to hospital: he needs his problem to be taken seriously."

Bayala also pointed towards progress in re-establishing judicial institutions in their original locations after security challenges forced many to relocate.

"Of the seven jurisdictions that had been moved for security reasons, five have now returned to their seats. It’s been an enormous effort on the part of those involved in the justice system to support the efforts to reclaim the land, which are to be applauded," he noted.

Mali’s Minister of Justice and Human Rights, Mamoudou Kassogue, who applauded growing regional ties within the Alliance of Sahel States, said that justice, within the framework of the Alliance, is 'getting stronger'. "The three judicial systems reinforce each other on a daily basis," he concluded.

The new judicial season is centred on the theme 'Strengthening relations between the justice system and litigants: a guarantee of social cohesion, good governance and development'.

It reportedly aims to address the causes of mistrust between citizens and the justice system while exploring solutions to restore confidence and ensure fairness.

00:00Thank you very much.

00:30I am sorry to strengthen the trust between the judicial and the justice,

00:51we need to work on the factors that deteriorate this trust.

00:56First of all, the accessibility to the justice, the confidence even to the justice,

01:01the confidence of the actors.

01:02Because the justice is in the matter of psychology.

01:05It is about to convince the people Burkinabé who is in front of the justice

01:10or the person who comes in justice, who can respond to his intent

01:15and who can solve in a very reduced time, in any way in a diligent way,

01:20the problem that is coming to the justice.

01:22You know, the justice, when he goes to a palace, he is like a sick man who goes to the hospital.

01:27He needs to be taken seriously.

01:29He needs to be taken seriously.

01:34You have noticed that in 2022, this jurisdiction was no longer in the place where it should be,

01:43this jurisdiction was displaced in other places than security areas.

01:48You have Diapaga and Bogandé who are found in Fada.

01:51You have Tougan who are found in Kodougou.

01:54Nuna who are found in Dedougou.

01:56You have Dori and Kongoussi and Djibo who are found in Ouagadougou.

02:00Today, when we are in the corner, we are aware that the five jurisdictions are returned to their seats.

02:07Bogandé is returned to their seats.

02:09Dori is returned to their seats.

02:10Kongoussi is returned to their seats.

02:12Nuna is returned to their seats.

02:14Tougan is returned to their seats.

02:16Djibo is returned to Kongoussi.

02:18So it was huge effort which was given by theん public sector to support the efforts of the reconquête region of the territory that we need to salute.

02:28We have to say that justice in the framework of the United States of Sahel is strengthening.

02:57We have had a first meeting in Bamako, which we have called the first meeting of the Minister of Justice and the Rights of the Humanity of the AES, which was dedicated to the examination of the judicial population between different countries.

03:22And on the subject of particular interests and common interests, we have exchanged and interviewed the need to strengthen this cooperation,

03:33to change through permanent meetings and to make justice progress in the context of the satisfaction of the interests of our populations,

03:42in the name of which the justice is granted.

03:49The majority of recommendations from theاضmayı sit down as it would be considered to leave.

03:56This conversation is expanded by having received accessibility from theasser H先生's Pendleton,
