Burkina Faso Bans Colonial Wigs In Courts To Embrace Cultural Identity

Burkina Faso's President, Ibrahim Traoré, has banned the use of British and French colonial-style wigs by judges, marking a significant step towards decolonizing the country's judicial system.

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 other African nations in discarding such relics in favor of indigenous traditions
