Burkina Faso faces a myriad of challenges that negatively impact the human rights situation. Two military-led coups in 2022 stalled the country, leaving it in a perpetual governance crisis. Environmental change is straining food production and motivating intercommunal conflict. Increasing government restrictions have constrained public freedoms, such as access to information and the right to assemble and demonstrate.
