Lieutenant-Colonel Pascal Tigri

 BREAKING NEWS:

Lieutenant-Colonel Pascal Tigri the mastermind behind the failed revolutionary military takeover in Benin🇧🇯 who initially fled to Togo🇹🇬—is now in Burkina Faso🇧🇫. According to reports, captain Ibrahim Traoré government has granted him a political refugee status.

“This decision aligns with Burkina Faso’s humanitarian commitments and the principle of solidarity, a core value of the Alliance of Sahel States (AES). In keeping with these principles, Colonel Pascal Tigri will fully benefit from the hospitality and protection provided by Burkina Faso and the other AES member states,” President Traoré said in an official statement.

He added that Burkina Faso “reaffirms its dedication to the tradition of hospitality, fraternity, and cooperation among African peoples.”

Details remain unclear regarding how Col. Tigri managed to leave Togo for Burkina Faso. His arrival comes just hours after Benin’s Western poppet President Patrice Talon urged Togolese President Faure Gnassingbé’s government to immediately extradite Tigri—warning that failure to do so would be “proof that Togo was involved in the military take over attempt.”
