My Ambition for Burkina Faso

Political engagement, far from easy, is often a road strewn with a thousand difficulties. Since he was thrown to the forefront of the national political scene, taking the reins of the CDP presidency at its sixth congress in 2015, Eddie Kombo?go has stepped into the infernal machine of the political world. He will reflect on the consequences in his political exile and during his incarceration at the House of Arrest and Correction of the Armies (MACA) in Ouagadougou in January 2016. The fate of great men is never a long calm river. Love him or hate him, Mr. Kombo?go leaves no one indifferent. He is certainly one of the politicians of his generation who will mark the history of his country. Ambitious, we say Eddie Kombo?go. But it is not his comrades from the college of Tenkodogo, the University of Ouaga or the higher schools of Paris who will say the opposite.Even less, those who saw him in the early 90s with his only parchment in hand, start from nothing, found and rise to the head of one of the largest African accounting firms. Beyond his genius in business, while he could have continued to prosper free from any anxiety in business, Eddie Kombo?go is strongly involved in politics, as he always says, to serve and not to serve. No politician has invested as much as Kombo?go in social projects (schools, colleges, CSPS, ambulances, boreholes, distribution of tons of grain to the needy. Etc.) Yes, he is a philanthropist like Oumarou Kanazo?, even if he is far from having the fortune of this other native of Passor?, who did so much for the Burkinab? during his lifetime. Being in politics is first and foremost having a vision and ideas. Eddie Kombo?go has a lot in his head. Reading this book, one is struck by the knowledge he has of his country Burkina Faso. Its concerns revolve around insecurity including terrorism, economic stagnation, youth, education, health, rural areas, justice and national reconciliation, to name but a few. He not only denounces, sometimes in very harsh terms, the current governance of Burkina Faso, but above all, he draws a vision that is based on clear proposals to get the country back on track. This man is a political animal. Pugnative, he is not afraid of adversity. Always in the oven and in the mill, he refuses resignation and fatalism. Eddie Kombo?go believes in the ability of the Burkinab? to bounce back to build their country in reconciliation. Reconciliation is the very fabric of his political vision. Convinced that the Burkinab? will never be able to meet the challenges of development and social cohesion, without reconciliation of their compatriots at home and abroad. In his vision, youth represent the key segment of the rebirth of Burkina Faso. In his book, he sets out the major axes of an ambitious youth policy. Eddie Kombo?go unashamedly assumes the legacy of Blaise Compaor? and endorses both the successes and the shortcomings or errors of his regime. However, in the shadow of his mentor, he plots his way, aware of the changing mentalities in Burkina Faso. The youth who are at the heart of their political program are waiting for changes that are in line with their generation. My ambition for Burkina Faso is a quality work. It is above all a call to reform Burkina Faso for a better future. For this, the president of the CDP is convinced that he is the best candidate to lead Burkina Faso into a new age of peace, reconciliation and prosperity.
