President of Burkina Faso, Captain Ibrahim Traoré has banned the wearing of British and French colonial wigs by judges
Burkina Faso’s President, Ibrahim Traore, has taken a bold move to decolonize the judicial system by banning the use of British and French colonial-style wigs by judges.
The ban aims to foster national identity and assert the country’s sovereignty, as colonial-era wigs have long been symbols of foreign influence in African legal systems.
Burkina Faso joins a growing list of African nations rejecting colonial relics and embracing indigenous traditions.
