The reinstatement of President Kafando in his post on 23 September and the announced return to the transition process are crucial steps towards the normalisation of the situation in Burkina Faso.
The efforts of the Economic Community of West African States and the personal commitment of several African Heads of State (Niger, Ghana, Benin, Senegal) to support the Burkinabe actors in seeking solutions that will restore peace and stability have played a major role.
I have to say that after the Interior Ministers yesterday managed to take a decision on internal relocation, our strength and our energy on acting also on the external side is much stronger and much more credible.
Je tiens à souligner qu'après la décision à laquelle les ministres de l'intérieur sont parvenus hier sur la relocalisation au sein de l'Union, notre capacité à agir également sur le plan extérieur et l'énergie que nous y mettons ont été sensiblement renforcées et nous avons gagné en crédibilité.
First of all, I am glad that yesterday the Interior Ministers managed to take a decision. It is only one part, and maybe not even the most relevant part of our strategy to deal with the refugee crisis, with the huge migration flows we are facing in the world, not only in Europe. But it is a very relevant and important part of our internal decision-making process, because it gives us the credibility internally to deal with our partners externally.

Le rétablissement du Président Kafando dans ses fonctions le 23 septembre et le retour annoncé au processus de transition constituent des étapes cruciales pour la normalisation de la situation au Burkina Faso.
Les efforts de la Communauté Economique Des Etats de l´Afrique de l´Ouest, avec l´engagement personnel de plusieurs Chefs d´Etats Africains (Sénégal, Bénin Niger, Ghana) pour accompagner les acteurs burkinabés dans la recherche de solutions permettant de ramener la paix et la stabilité ont joué un rôle majeur.
