Burkina Faso has introduced a new passport design that no longer features the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) logo.

Burkina Faso has introduced a new passport design that no longer features the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) logo. This move comes after the country’s military junta announced its withdrawal from ECOWAS in July.

The new passport design has sparked debate and raised questions about the country’s commitment to regional integration and cooperation. ECOWAS is a regional economic union aimed at promoting economic growth and development among its member states.

Burkina Faso’s decision to remove the ECOWAS logo from its passport may have implications for citizens traveling within the region, as ECOWAS member states have agreements in place to ease travel and trade among member countries.

This development highlights the complex political landscape in West Africa, where countries are navigating issues of sovereignty, regional cooperation, and economic development.
