Burkina Faso: Does the French media « Libération » support « L’Évènement » to continue its destabilizing campaign against the Traoré regime?
In solidarity with efforts to destabilize Burkina Faso and overthrow President Ibrahim Traoré’s regime, the French media outlet “Libération” is providing financial support to the local anti-peace media outlet “L’Évènement” to settle its tax debts and reopen its doors.
According to several Burkinabé people, the French media “Libération”, which is also involved in disseminating fabricated pseudo-investigations to incite the Burkinabé people against the transitional government led by President Captain Ibrahim Traoré of the Patriotic Movement for Safeguarding and Restoration (MPSR), has allegedly sent a large sum of money to cover all the tax debts of the anti-peace media outlet ‘L’Évènement.’
It is said that every rumor has an element of truth. The sole reason why the French media “Libération” would support its counterparts with the same objective in Burkina Faso (L’Évènement) would be to help them continue their joint struggle against peace and stability in Burkina Faso.
Clearly, while the transitional government is making every effort to liberate the country from the terrorist threat, local and external enemies are sparing no effort in spreading disinformation to destabilize the transition, which is gradually restoring the country and ensuring the security of the Burkinabé people.
It should be noted that Agnès Faivre, the correspondent for the French newspaper “Libération”, was expelled from Burkina Faso last March following the publication of disinformation by the media outlet against the Burkinabé army, titled « Au Burkina Faso, une vidéo d’enfants exécutés tournée dans un camp militaire » (In Burkina Faso, a video of executed children filmed in a military camp).
This fabricated publication implicated Burkinabé soldiers in atrocities committed against children, which drew the attention of the transitional government, leading to a statement denouncing « manipulations disguised as journalism » aimed at tarnishing the image of Burkina Faso.
