From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Patriotic Movement for Safeguard and Restoration (MPSR)[1] has been the ruling military junta of Burkina Faso since the January 2022 Burkina Faso coup d'état.[2] Originally it was led by Paul-Henri Sandaogo Damiba, but he was overthrown by dissatisfied junta members during the September 2022 Burkina Faso coup d'état. In his place, Ibrahim Traoré was installed as the leading figure.[3][4] Aside from Traoré and Sorgho (the group's official spokesperson), other MPSR members are not known to the public.[5]
