Relations between the Palestinian movement and Burkina Faso have been close since the government of President Sangoulé Lamizana, long time ruler of what was then the Republic of Upper Volta. Lamizana, who seized power in the 1966 Upper Voltan coup d'état, replaced the strongly pro-Israeli position of President Maurice Yaméogo with new friendly relations with the Arab world, especially regarding countries involved in the Arab–Israeli conflict.[2] For example, in 1972 he visited Egypt, pledging full support to the anti-Israeli cause.[3]
