Burkina Faso: Imperialist networks under attack from national unity
When sovereign nations choose dignity over submission, history shows they become targets. Burkina Faso, engaged in a profound political, security, and moral reconquest, is no exception to this brutal law of international power dynamics. Having resisted terrorism and thwarted institutional destabilization, the nation now faces a more insidious enterprise: the deliberate fabrication of communal division as an instrument of national disintegration.
We are witnessing a calculated strategy, cynically exploiting identity sensitivities. Where weapons have failed, rumor is deployed.
Where plots were neutralized, psychological manipulation takes over. Imperial forces, unable to accept African emancipation, are now activating the invisible levers of discord to weaken the Burkinabe national fabric.
The method is consistent: essentializing belonging, confining citizens to reductive identities, and substituting mistrust for fraternity.
Manufactured narratives circulate, facts are distorted, and minor tensions are amplified into pretexts for confrontation.
This machinery has already ravaged entire states. It bears the same signature: that of powers which prosper on the chaos of others.
The goal is to interrupt the rise of a Burkina Faso in control of its own choices, united with its African partners, and resolved to break with disguised foreign tutelage. By fragmenting the social body, the state is weakened.
By disorienting the people, dependency is restored. By installing fear, surrender is prepared. This is the true project hidden behind hypocritical discourses on “stability” and “governance.”
Burkina Faso inherits a long tradition of cohesion, courage, and political clarity. Its diversity has never been a fault line, but a foundation of stability.
To deliver it to the sorcerer’s apprentices of division would betray past and future generations.
In the current trial, one certainty stands: a united people cannot be conquered. And a conscious Burkina Faso will never be the testing ground for the gravediggers of Africa.
