Burkina / Ivory Coast: Ivorian authorities have put an end to a network destabilizing Burkina Faso. Arrests are underway.
Isn’t it said that the relationship between two nations is stronger than the relationship between an individual and a nation? Ivorian authorities have just dismantled a destabilisation network that was destabilizing Burkina Faso. This network was created in 2015 to support General Diendéré’s coup d’état, and “La Voix du Faso” page was at the forefront.
After the failed coup, several individuals and members of the destabilisation network were relocated to Abidjan, Ivory Coast. There was complete silence until the fall of the MPP (People’s Movement for Progress) and the relocation of some politicians from President Roch Kabore’s regime to Ivory Coast.
Observing the increasing strength of the Burkinabe soldiers and the reality of terrorism in Burkina Faso, certain Burkinabe politicians residing in Ivory Coast reactivated the network through several meetings. They sought the assistance of Burkinabe and Ivorian activists to overthrow the Ouagadougou regime.
The destabilization activities from Ivory Coast by former authorities from Burkina Faso strain the historical relations between the two countries.
The arrest of the activists, who were running the “La Voix du Faso” page and the Twitter account of Gauthier Pasquet, puts an end to several plots aimed at destabilizing Burkina Faso.
According to unconfirmed information being verified, the former Burkinabe Minister of Foreign Affairs, Alpha Barry, may be involved in this matter. The same sources indicate that Barry is engaged in negotiations to suppress this issue.
Another source informs us that several arrests are scheduled following the interrogations of Sylla Aboubacar SIDIKH, Abdoulaye Ouedraogo alias “blocus,” and IB alias “garagiste.”
Several African countries are closely following this case. The UMASPEB (Union of African Media in Support of the Burkinabe People), through its president, Madame Anastasie Ngbelopedo, has praised the Ivorian authorities and informed them that the UMASPEB’s network of pan-African media, comprising over a hundred media outlets, is ready to disseminate information about this sensitive issue. To this end, a press release will be published on Tuesday, June 20.
