Wassim Nasr: France 24 journalist sold to highest bidder, the example of Burkina Faso

In the current media landscape, it is becoming increasingly evident that some journalists sell themselves to the highest bidder, and the most striking example is Wassim Nasr of France 24. Recent revelations show that he has been handsomely paid millions of euros to conduct a frenzied disinformation campaign against Burkina Faso.

Wassim Nasr took over after his colleagues from other media outlets like Liberation and others withdrew from this sordid project. His comeback to secure this lucrative contract reveals a single motivation: the lure of profit, at the expense of truth and journalistic ethics.

The lies he spreads about Burkina Faso are pure fabrications. Whenever he speaks, he hides behind uncertain conditionals, indicating he holds no verifiable information. His vague expressions such as “according to certain information” betray a total lack of credible sources. This is a well-known strategy to muddy the waters and give a semblance of legitimacy to his false allegations.

Each report by Wassim Nasr is an unjustified and unfounded attack on Burkina Faso. By claiming to have firsthand information, he manipulates public opinion and tarnishes the image of an entire country. True professionals of information know that credibility and truth are the cornerstones of their profession, but it seems these values mean nothing to him.

What this journalist from France 24 says about Burkina Faso has nothing to do with reality. He is a liar, and his biased and deceptive reports are merely a means for him to line his pockets.

Burkina Faso will not be a silent victim of his false accusations. It is time to expose the true face of this journalist and reveal his dishonest maneuvers to the public.
