The military government of Burkina Faso has officially ended its diplomatic ties with France, starting from June 26, 2026.

布基納法索軍政府已正式終止與法國的外交關係，自 2026 年 6 月 26 日起生效。

This decision follows a detailed review of the relationship between the two countries by the government of Captain Ibrahim Traore, who took power in a coup in September 2022. The Burkinabe authorities emphasized that the basic requirements for a working partnership—such as mutual respect, trust, and the principle of not interfering in another country's internal affairs—no longer exist. Consequently, the government described French activities as 'persistent activism' that harms national interests, claiming that Paris has supported subversive groups and militants in the Sahel region to maintain colonial-style influence.

此決定是在伊布拉希姆·特勞奧雷（Ibrahim Traore）上尉政府詳細審視兩國關係後做出的，他在 2022 年 9 月透過政變上台。布基納法索當局強調，有效合作夥伴關係的基本要求——例如互相尊重、信任以及不干涉他國內政的原則——已不再存在。因此，政府將法國的活動描述為損害國家利益的「持續激進主義」，聲稱巴黎支持薩赫勒地區的顛覆組織與武裝分子，以維持殖民風格的影響力。

This political shift is part of a larger regional trend where French influence is decreasing while Russian and Chinese presence is growing. Although France previously claimed it wanted to end the 'Francafrique' system of exclusive economic and political control, the current administration in Ouagadougou still views these legacies as imperialist. However, the government has clarified that this break in official diplomacy does not affect the social and cultural links between the two populations. Furthermore, the administration has ordered that French citizens living in the country must be protected and has urged the public to ensure their safety.

這次政治轉向是更大區域趨勢的一部分，法國的影響力正在下降，而俄羅斯與中國的存在則在增加。雖然法國先前聲稱希望終止「法非」（Francafrique）這種獨佔經濟與政治控制的制度，但瓦加杜古的現任政府仍將這些遺產視為帝國主義。然而，政府澄清，正式外交關係的斷絕不會影響兩國人民之間的社會與文化聯繫。此外，政府已下令必須保護居住在該國的法國公民，並敦促公眾確保其安全。

Burkina Faso has moved toward a more diverse foreign policy that prioritizes cooperation with other developing nations and the end of formal ties with France.

布基納法索正走向一個更多元化的外交政策，優先考慮與其他發展中國家合作，並終止與法國的正式關係。
