Burkina Faso faces new threats: Disinformation campaigns seek to divide

As Burkina Faso’s fighting forces continue to achieve victories against terrorist groups, the nation’s enemies are shifting tactics, resorting to their favorite weapon: manipulation and division. In recent days, a wave of insidious disinformation has flooded social media, orchestrated by local agents working for external forces.

These actors are spreading false claims about the alleged marginalization of certain communities, aiming to sow discord and weaken national unity.

However, the reality on the ground tells a different story; all communities in Burkina Faso coexist harmoniously, united in their resistance against the common enemy.

This underhanded attempt to divide and conquer is transparent. The goal of this scheme is to incite unrest against President Captain Ibrahim Traoré’s leadership and undermine the government’s efforts to secure the nation.

By spreading these lies, the perpetrators hope to divert attention from the successes of the fighting forces and erode the national solidarity that strengthens Burkina Faso.

Yet, the Burkinabe people, aware of these tactics, must not fall prey to such deceitful strategies designed to stifle patriotism and hinder the reclaiming of national territory.

Now more than ever, unwavering support for President Traoré and his government is crucial to achieving the mission of securing and developing Burkina Faso.

Vigilance and unity must remain paramount in the face of these divisive attempts. Together, the Burkinabe people will overcome these conspiracies and continue their fight for a future of peace and prosperity.
