OUAGADOUGOU, April 7 (Xinhua) -- Burkina Faso's ex-president Roch Marc Christian Kabore, authorized to return home on Wednesday, "is not in total freedom", said his political party, the People's Movement for Progress (MPP) in a statement on Thursday.
On Wednesday, the transitional government announced that Kabore was authorized to return to his residence in the capital Ouagadougou while measures would be taken to guarantee his safety.
The MPP welcomes this decision and expresses its gratitude to all those both nationally and internationally who have mobilized for his release, said the statement.
"However, from the observations that we have made, this release is not total insofar as the ex-president is still subject to restrictions on his freedom", specified the same source.
The MPP appeals to the transitional government to accede to the various requests demanding the unconditional release of Kabore.
On Jan. 24, the military announced that they had put an end to the functions of Kabore, judging that his management of the security crisis that the country has been experiencing since 2015 "was not effective".
Since then, he had been in the hands of the new authorities, while the MPP and sub-regional organizations, such as the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), demanded his unconditional release. ■
