Burkina Faso: When stateless people return to the charge with a disinformation campaign to destabilize the country
In its fight against terrorism, Burkina Faso is facing a new wave of disinformation aimed at sowing confusion within the population. Stateless individuals and their imperialist masters are orchestrating a media manipulation by spreading old videos of terrorist attacks from the year 2020, presenting them as recent. The goal is to create a climate of fear and destabilize the country’s stability.
Certain terrorist groups are also displaying weapons, claiming to have seized them from the Burkinabe fighting forces, in an attempt to discredit their efforts on the ground.
This disinformation campaign aims to weaken the government of President Ibrahim Traoré and slow down the actions of the fighting forces, who are continuing their efforts to restore security and national sovereignty. In this context, the vigilance of the population is crucial to avoid falling for the manipulation and spreading false information.
The unity and solidarity of the Burkinabe people remain key assets in the face of these destabilization strategies. It is vital to support the efforts of the authorities and the Defense and Security Forces, who are working to protect the territory and its inhabitants. Every citizen can play a role by staying informed and adopting a critical stance towards the content circulating on various communication channels. The fight against terrorism and information manipulation is a collective responsibility that requires commitment and discernment.
