Le Burkina Faso ne veut plus des perruques

Burkina Faso’s decision to ban colonial-era barrister wigs and clothing is a powerful statement about reclaiming cultural identity and moving away from remnants of colonial influence. These traditional European garments can feel disconnected from African history and values, and by setting them aside, Burkina Faso is symbolically embracing its own heritage in the legal profession. It’s a move that emphasizes dignity, relevance, and self-determination, highlighting a growing trend in many African nations to honor their own histories and cultural expressions. This step could inspire broader discussions about decolonizing institutions and creating systems that truly reflect the people they serve. #TATHOTS #Afriphile

❌ False! This video blatantly steals images at the beginning from the Ghanaian legal outfitter brand Beau & Bevy without any shame. https://cvc.li/xVBJJ The video also falsely claims that the outfits shown are standard legal attire in Burkina Faso. The legal wear for Burkina Faso is in fact similar to traditional French lawyer robes https://www.barreau.bf/ This is because Burkina Faso, formerly known as Haute Volta, was a French colony until it became independent and changed its name to Burkina Faso on 04/08/1960; And yes there are new clerk costumes being designed for clerks and judges in Burkina Faso since the 23/10/24 decree which looks like the ones shown at 0:28, not for lawyers! This was announced by the justice minister M Bayala (0:10 in the video) https://cvc.li/xPguU There’s no ‘ban’ to be spoken of. It is the British who wear wigs! And in ancient British colonies like Ghana, lawyers do still wear them. https://cvc.li/EUtFk So why this disinformation? Well the president of BF, Capt. Traoré who is said to be such a good president in the video (0:02) is an admirer of Russia and is in power since the 30/09/2022 coup d’état! https://cvc.li/GzMwg
