“Stay Where You Are” — Traoré Rejects Calls For Sharia Law, Says Every Burkinabè Has The Right To Practise Any Religion
“No Sharia Law In Burkina Faso.

I am a Muslim, but everyone in Burkina Faso has the right to practice their own religion. There will never be Sharia law in this country.

To those Burkinabè studying Sharia law in Saudi Arabia, do not return to Burkina Faso. 

Instead of acquiring technological knowledge and skills that can help develop our country, you chose to study Sharia law. Stay where you are, you won't be allowed back here”

— President Traoré rejects calls for Sharia law, says every Burkinabè has the right to practise any religion
