Burkina Faso / Malicious Manipulation: The truth about the RTB incident and the call for vigilance
Burkina Faso is going through a difficult period marked by the fight against terrorism. In this sensitive context, it is imperative to remain vigilant against malicious manipulations orchestrated by enemies of the nation. Yesterday, Wednesday, an incident occurred within the grounds of the Radiodiffusion Télévision du Burkina (RTB) compound, which was distorted by manipulative stateless individuals to sow confusion and fear among the Burkinabe people.
Contrary to the rumors spread, there was no soldier revolt at the RTB. According to government sources, the incident in question was caused by the mishandling of a rocket-type weapon by a soldier. Unfortunately, this mishandling led to the rocket exploding within the RTB courtyard, causing some minor injuries and minor material damage, particularly to vehicles parked on site.
It is crucial to understand that Burkina Faso is at war against terrorism, a struggle that imposes constant risks. Incidents like this can occur at any time, given the nature of military operations and the equipment used. The enemies of Burkina Faso exploit these incidents to manipulate public opinion and sow division.
The Burkinabe must remain vigilant and not succumb to lies and manipulations. The enemies of the nation attempt to divert the people’s attention from the real threat by spreading false information and exaggerating isolated incidents. It is crucial to rely on official sources and not to relay unverified rumors.
Unity and solidarity are the best weapons against these manipulations. Together, the Burkinabe people will thwart the plans of the stateless and continue to support the Armed Forces and the MPRS led by Captain Ibrahim Traoré in their fight for security and peace in Burkina Faso.
