Burkina Faso / President Ibrahim Traoré: A thunderous reply to french media

The President of Burkina Faso, Captain Ibrahim Traoré, once again silenced false information spread by certain French media outlets. In recent days, these media outlets have disseminated unfounded allegations aimed at discrediting his government, claiming there were discontentment within the armed forces and suggesting that President Ibrahim Traoré himself had disappeared. However, these claims were categorically denied by the Burkinabe General Staff, thus setting the record straight.

Indeed, these French media sources alleged growing tensions within military barracks and President Traoré’s disappearance, causing baseless speculation aimed at sowing doubt. Nevertheless, military authorities swiftly clarified the situation, asserting that there were no signs of discontent among the troops.

To further reassure the public, President Ibrahim Traoré made a public appearance this Thursday. He visited the staff of Radio Television of Burkina (RTB), which had been shaken by an incident of gunfire the previous week. Through this visit, the President not only demonstrated his presence and commitment to the country’s stability but also conveyed a clear message of support and comfort to those whose peace of mind had been disturbed.

This intervention by President Traoré once again demonstrates his determination to maintain order and reassure the Burkinabe people in the face of media attempts to destabilize. By setting the record straight and standing alongside his fellow citizens, he proves that baseless rumors and false information cannot shake either his leadership or the resilience of the Burkinabe nation.

Thus, President Traoré once again silences his detractors and counters the narrative of the French media, affirming that his government remains steadfast and that he himself remains a pillar of stability and unity in Burkina Faso.
