Burkina Faso announces UN coordinator ‘persona non grata’
The Burkinabe government criticized the report as biased and compiled without its input, accusing Flore-Smereczniak of submitting unverified information to the UN Security Council. While Ouagadougou affirmed continued cooperation with the UN on security and humanitarian issues, it said Flore-Smereczniak is no longer a credible interlocutor.
The UN expressed regret over the decision, noting that staff enjoy privileges and immunities to perform their duties. Burkina Faso, alongside Mali and Niger, has faced a long-running jihadist insurgency and has cut defense ties with Western powers, including France, citing failures in addressing regional violence.
