The missing ex-foreign minister has been critical of the military regime that has ruled Burkina since a September 2022 coup.
In early November, the Burkina military drafted the 70-year-old Ouedraogo to send him to the front to assist in “the fight against terrorism” in the country, where a jihadist insurgency has raged for years.
His political party condemned the move as retribution for Ouedraogo’s criticism of the country’s rulers.
