Aren’t these rumors to sow panic?

“There are also media reports on this audio. That means it’s true. In Africa, it is very often said that there is no smoke without fire. Coup d’état in a coup, in another coup, we want more,” Souleymane Ouédraogo replied.

He maintained that their presence at the Place de la Nation is intended not only to deter the critics of Captain Ibrahim Traoré, but also to tell the President of the transition that they are mobilized behind him.

“The country has suffered too much. With this President, we can see the end of the tunnel. No one will be allowed to touch a single hair of the captain. The fight is against terrorism,” he threatened.

“Brave people of Burkina, remain vigilant because everything is possible. Any threat must be taken seriously, even if it is rumour. Prevention is better than cure,” retorts an international observer.

“When there is a threat to the b0mbe in a building, we do not ask ourselves any questions, the urgency suggests that the building is immediately evacuated. We do not question the veracity of the threat, we vacate the building, then we advise. Burkinabe youth, keep an eye open and the right one,” he concludes.
