Burkina Faso's junta passes law banning homosexuality
Burkina Faso's ruling junta on Monday unanimously passed a law banning homosexuality as part of a wider reform of family and citizenship legislation. The new law, which aligns with a broadening crackdown on homosexuality across Africa, provides for sentences of up to five years in prison as punishment for being gay.
Junta-run Burkina Faso has passed a law banning homosexuality and instituting punishments of up to five years in jail, the latest in a clutch of African nations to pass anti-gay legislation.
Homosexuality is illegal in around 30 African countries but was not banned in Burkina Faso before the military seized power three years ago.
The draft law was unanimously adopted by 71 unelected members of a transitional parliament in place since two coups in 2022 in the West African nation.
"The law provides for a prison sentence of between two and five years as well as fines," Justice Minister Edasso Rodrigue Bayala said on …

@Jeffrey Ade thanks for share it.. my great online friend, brotehr Jeffrey... yes... As I mentioned, Burkina Faso's interim president, Ibrahim Traoré, is on the right path, and although he is Muslim, he respects the Catholic and Christian communities, and we see him as a figure who walks the path of a modern nation...I believe all orthodox Catholics and Christian believers should fully support all African Christian nations (including Uganda, Ghana, Nigeria, Cameroon, Kenya, Tanzania, etc.) that courageously stand against the ideology promoting LGBT and indiscriminate abortion, including Burkina Faso, as well as all nations with common sense. However, I have heard that wrongful Western forces are instigating absurd riots over the current Tanzanian presidential election... Tanzania's main opposition party, CHADEMA, claims they do not agree with the promotion of LGBT and indiscriminate abortion ideologies, but this is nothing but a blatant lie... CHADEMA leader Tundu Lisu maintains very close ties with the West, including the EU and Canada, and has received substantial support from them. Therefore, his claim of opposing LGBT and the ideology promoting indiscriminate abortion cannot be trusted at all... Above all, the EU Parliament has pressured the current Tanzanian government to release Tundu Lisu and demanded support for LGBT and the ideology promoting indiscriminate abortion. If you still think CHADEMA opposes LGBT and the ideology promoting indiscriminate abortion after seeing this, you are a fool...
The major opposition parties in Uganda, Ghana, Nigeria, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, and Kenya are no different from the governments and ruling parties in their staunch opposition to LGBT and pro-abortion ideologies, but I'm not sure how they would fare in a chaotic situation... because the misguided Western powers will exploit anything... That's why, rather than blindly trusting certain political forces, I think it's far more important to have a strong determination not to support misguided ideologies, even if it means being the only one left... If Trump, JD Vance, and the current Republicans truly believed, they would wholeheartedly support all the brave people... But they simply don't. So it's absurd to hear them claim to be waking up Americans and the world... True victory can never be achieved by humans, but only by our Lord Jesus Christ. Yet, so many foolish orthodox Catholics and Christians seem to turn a blind eye to even that... one more tell about this truth.... this year... 2025, will be the last year we will exist, even in our physical form. This year, 2025, will be the year when the world order we have grown accustomed to will collapse. I am convinced that even more horrific events will unfold after that. This is especially true because we will never be able to grasp even the remaining days of 2025, let alone what will happen one day, or even one second from now... so I firmly believe that it's important to walk the right path. How glorious it would be if even one person could walk the right path! and then... until the moment our Lord Jesus Christ allows, whether it is now or tomorrow, we must fight against all false ideologies and defend Orthodox teachings and the true truth!!! May the our Lord Sacred Heart of Jesus always grant you, your family and all your loved ones infinite graces....Holy Mary, all Angels and Saints.. pray for us... Amen.. take care.. have a wonderful day... preparing about huge perseution..

He is a good leader who is helping his people out tremulously. He went to President Putin and said, I did not come here for a handout. I don't want grain. I don't want money. What I am asking of you is to help me build schools. Schools of science and learning.
