BURKINA FASO NATIONALISES ALL LAND

Major land reform has come to Burkina Faso, bringing the country’s trajectory back to a ‘Sankarist’ direction.

On 5 February, Burkina Faso Minister of the Economy and Finances Dr. Aboubakar Nacanabo announced all land belongs to the state and foreigners are no longer allowed to hold rural land titles. This is similar to the land reform measures adopted by assassinated socialist Pan-Africanist President Thomas Sankara (1949-87), who nationalised land in Burkina Faso in 1984. Under the counter-revolutionary government of Blaise Compaoré, found guilty in Sankara’s assassination, the government privatised land in 1991. 

The new law is the second and most expansive land reform policy enacted under President Ibrahim Traoré. In June 2023, the government enacted a law to exclude private real estate developers from urban planning operations and limit the number of hectares a private entity could possess for urban real estate to five hectares.
