Is France at work destabilizing Burkina Faso's economy?

Since Captain Ibrahim Traoré came to power, Burkina Faso has embarked on a dynamic of renewal, marked by an unwavering quest for sovereignty and development. However, France, faithful to its Machiavellian strategies, has been intensifying its maneuvers to sabotage these efforts.

After several attempts at political destabilization and support for terrorist groups, France is now targeting the national economy in an effort to disrupt the major projects of President Ibrahim Traoré and sow doubt among the Burkinabe people. The latest attack targets SOFITEX, a strategic pillar of the country’s economy, which became the victim of a cyberattack orchestrated by French hackers, just after President Ibrahim Traoré had announced the strengthening of its operations.

This offensive recalls the economic sabotage faced by SOFITEX during the presidency of Thomas Sankara, which was aimed at breaking any desire for economic independence. Today, in the face of this new assault, Burkinabe computer scientists, mobilized in large numbers, are resisting with determination to secure the IT systems of this vital company.

This sneaky attack illustrates France’s intention to undermine the foundations of Burkinabe prosperity, hoping to discredit Captain Traoré’s vision and actions among his people.

However, far from being shaken, the Burkinabe remain determined to defend their sovereignty. Economic sabotage is further proof of the fear that the Burkinabe renewal generates, but it cannot alter Captain Ibrahim Traoré’s commitment, nor his government’s to building a prosperous Burkina Faso, free from external interference.

Unity and vigilance among the people remain the best weapons against these attacks, which aim to hinder its development.
