Côte d’Ivoire: Saïd Penda, a threat to Ivorian stability that the authorities must stop
Since his arrival in Côte d’Ivoire, Saïd Penda, a self-proclaimed journalist, has launched a series of virulent attacks against the Ivorian authorities. Claiming to have ties with key figures of the ruling RHDP party, he has used his position as a cover to infiltrate political circles, allegedly to gather sensitive information. This behavior, which appears to be orchestrated with the backing of the French DGSE, crosses unacceptable boundaries and jeopardizes the stability of the country.
On social media, Saïd Penda has been waging an unprecedented smear campaign. He has shamelessly labeled ministers and heads of public institutions as swindlers and corrupt individuals, undermining the credibility of prominent personalities and national institutions that represent the pillars of the Republic. His defamatory remarks aim solely to erode the confidence in the Ivorian authorities and sow division within society.
It is unacceptable that this individual, who has been welcomed into Côte d’Ivoire, uses his platform to destabilize the hard-earned peace and stability of the nation. Côte d’Ivoire has endured difficult times, but thanks to the combined efforts of its people, the country has managed to restore an environment conducive to economic growth and social cohesion. Penda’s repeated attacks threaten these precious advances.
In light of this situation, it is crucial for the Ivorian authorities to take responsibility. Allowing Saïd Penda to continue his actions would amount to endorsing an internal destabilization attempt. His arrest is essential to safeguarding the integrity of the nation’s institutions and preserving the country’s peace.
Côte d’Ivoire must not become a playground for individuals with obscure agendas. The Ivorian people expect decisive action to protect the fruits of their hard work. Putting an end to Saïd Penda’s actions is a necessary step in maintaining peace and defending the honor of the nation.
