The Regiment of Presidential Security (French: Régiment de la sécurité présidentielle, RSP), sometimes known as the Presidential Security Regiment, was the secret service organisation responsible for VIP security to the President of Burkina Faso, a landlocked country in West Africa. It was autonomous from the Army. Until 31 October 2014, the President was Blaise Compaoré, a military officer who came to power in a 1987 coup d'état. The elite unit was well known for its frequent involvement in the politics of Burkina Faso, acting as the iron fist of President Compaoré in his domination of the country. They were said to be widely feared by many people in the country, which in 2012 – two years prior to the end of Compaoré's government – was described by the Democracy Index as an "authoritarian

  • The Regiment of Presidential Security (French: Régiment de la sécurité présidentielle, RSP), sometimes known as the Presidential Security Regiment, was the secret service organisation responsible for VIP security to the President of Burkina Faso, a landlocked country in West Africa. It was autonomous from the Army. Until 31 October 2014, the President was Blaise Compaoré, a military officer who came to power in a 1987 coup d'état. The elite unit was well known for its frequent involvement in the politics of Burkina Faso, acting as the iron fist of President Compaoré in his domination of the country. They were said to be widely feared by many people in the country, which in 2012 – two years prior to the end of Compaoré's government – was described by the Democracy Index as an "authoritarian regime". After 2014 Burkinabé uprising, on 1 November 2014, Lieutenant Colonel Yacouba Isaac Zida – deputy commander of the Regiment of Presidential Security – briefly took over as Acting President following Compaoré's ouster. Later in the month, Zida was named Prime Minister. On 16 September 2015, after its disbandment was recommended, the RSP staged another coup that took Michel Kafando and his government hostage. The Army stepped in and Kafando was reinstated on 23 September. The Regiment of Presidential Security was disbanded, as previously recommended, on 25 September 2015. (en)
  • O Regimento de Segurança Presidencial (em francês: Régiment de sécurité présidentielle, RSP) foi uma unidade militar de elite das responsável pela segurança e proteção do presidente de Burkina Faso, das instituições republicanas e qualquer outra pessoa designada pelo presidente burquinense de 1995 a 2015. Até 31 de outubro de 2014 o presidente era Blaise Compaoré, um oficial militar que chegou ao poder em um golpe de Estado de 1987. A unidade de elite era bem conhecida por seu envolvimento frequente na política do Burkina Faso, atuando como o punho de ferro do presidente Compaoré. Dizia-se que eram amplamente temidos por muitas pessoas no país, que em 2012 – dois anos antes do fim do governo de Compaoré – foi descrito pelo Índice de Democracia como um “regime autoritário”. Após a revolta burquinense de 2014, em 1 de novembro de 2014, o tenente-coronel Yacouba Isaac Zida – vice-comandante do Regimento de Segurança Presidencial – assumiu brevemente como presidente interino após a deposição de Compaoré. No final do mês, Zida foi nomeado primeiro-ministro. Em 16 de setembro de 2015, após a recomendação de sua dissolução, a unidade realizou um golpe de Estado que tomou Michel Kafando e seu governo como reféns. O exército interveio e Kafando foi reintegrado em 23 de setembro. O Regimento de Segurança Presidencial foi dissolvido, conforme recomendado anteriormente, em 25 de setembro de 2015. (pt)
