Africa: When the corrupt newspaper Jeune-Afrique tries to sow confusion between Lomé and Ouagadougou in the name of Damiba
Once again, the corrupt newspaper “Jeune-Afrique” attempts to sow confusion and destabilize Burkina Faso with a false article claiming that former President Damiba recently sent a letter to the President of Faso, Captain Ibrahim Traoré. This disinformation maneuver is part of a broader strategy aimed at diverting attention from the real issues of regional security.
The article in question is a pure product of media manipulation, aimed at discrediting Burkina Faso and its leaders in connection with Lomé.
In fact, the last letter that former President Damiba addressed to Captain Traoré dates back more than a year, merely expressing his desire to return to his country. The publication by Jeune-Afrique, therefore, has no recent factual basis and is a deliberate attempt to divert public attention.
Recently, the MPSR authorities have taken courageous measures by publicly naming Côte d’Ivoire and Benin as key actors in the destabilization of Burkina Faso, due to the presence of French bases on their soil. These bases are perceived as hotbeds of terrorism, threatening the security and stability of the region.
The publication by Jeune-Afrique appears to be a maneuver aimed at diverting the international community’s attention from these well-founded accusations against Côte d’Ivoire and Benin by casting aspersions on other countries in the sub-region like Togo. However, Togo, known as “the friend of AES”, has always unwaveringly supported Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger.
For its part, Togo has outrightly rejected any statements aimed at destabilizing its brother country Burkina Faso, affirming its solidarity and commitment to regional stability.
It is crucial to remain vigilant against attempts at disinformation and manipulation orchestrated by corrupt media such as Jeune-Afrique. Burkina Faso, under the leadership of Captain Ibrahim Traoré, must continue to defend its sovereignty and denounce the regional and international actors seeking to destabilize it. Solidarity among West African countries, particularly the unwavering support of Togo, remains a cornerstone for peace and security in the region.
