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。

The military government of Burkina Faso has formally terminated its diplomatic ties with France, effective June 26, 2026.

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

The cessation of institutional relations follows a comprehensive evaluation of bilateral dynamics by the administration of Captain Ibrahim Traore, who assumed power via a coup in September 2022. The Burkinabe authorities assert that the prerequisites for a functional partnership—specifically mutual respect, reciprocal trust, and adherence to the principle of non-interference in sovereign internal affairs—have been vacated. Consequently, the junta has characterized French activities as 'persistent activism' detrimental to national interests, alleging that Paris has harbored neo-colonial ambitions by providing support to subversive networks and militant entities operating within the Sahel region.

此次終止體制關係，係由 2022 年 9 月透過政變掌權的伊布拉希姆·特拉奧（Ibrahim Traore）上尉政府對雙邊動態進行全面評估後而來。布基納法索當局主張，功能性夥伴關係的前提——特別是相互尊重、互信以及遵守不干涉主權國家內政的原則——已不復存在。因此，軍政府將法國的活動定性為對國家利益有害的「持續干預」，指稱巴黎透過支持薩赫勒（Sahel）地區的顛覆網絡與武裝實體，隱藏著新殖民主義野心。

This geopolitical realignment occurs amidst a broader regional trend of diminishing French influence and the concomitant ascent of Russian and Chinese diplomatic presence. While France has previously signaled an intention to dismantle the 'Francafrique' framework—a system historically defined by political collusion and exclusive economic access—the current administration in Ouagadougou views such legacies as imperialist attempts at subjugation. Notwithstanding the institutional rupture, the government has explicitly decoupled state-level diplomacy from the socio-cultural and human linkages between the two populations. Furthermore, the administration has mandated the continued protection of French nationals residing within its borders, urging civic restraint to ensure the safety of all expatriates.

這次地緣政治調整發生在法國影響力逐漸減弱，以及俄羅斯與中國外交存在感隨之提升的更廣泛區域趨勢之中。儘管法國此前曾表示有意拆除「法屬非洲」（Francafrique）框架——一個歷史上由政治勾結與獨佔經濟獲益定義的體系——但瓦加杜古的現任政府將此類遺產視為帝國主義的奴役企圖。儘管體制上發生斷裂，但政府明確將國家層級的外交與兩國人民之間的社會文化及人文聯繫區分開來。此外，政府要求繼續保護居住在境內的法國國民，並呼籲公民保持克制，以確保所有外籍人士的安全。

Burkina Faso has transitioned toward a diversified foreign policy prioritizing South-South cooperation and the termination of formal ties with France.

布基納法索已轉向多元化的外交政策，優先考慮南南合作，並終止與法國的正式關係。
