Africa: Burkina Faso-Ghana cooperation threatened by possible manipulation

Burkina Faso and Ghana maintain positive bilateral relations, but recent information suggests attempts to sow discord within this fruitful cooperation. There are indications of significant pressure on Ghanaian President Nana Akufo-Addo.

In a last-minute development, it is reported that President Emmanuel Macron has sought the support of Alassane Ouattara to use Ghanaian President Nana Akufo-Addo as an intermediary to influence Burkina Faso.

Ouattara’s mission would be to persuade Nana Akufo-Addo to reduce the energy supply line to Burkina Faso, a pressure that the Ghanaian President seems to be resisting.

Nana Akufo-Addo appears to choose to maintain his position as a loyal partner to his Burkinabè counterpart, Captain Ibrahim Traoré.

However, the requested reduction in electricity, initiated by Macron and Ouattara, could have adverse economic consequences for Ghana, causing disruptions in supply chains and economic tension.

Macron seems intent on making life difficult for Ghanaians, following the model of Alassane Ouattara in Côte d’Ivoire.

It is reported that Ouattara is willing to subsidize any potential losses from this measure in Ghana, although under his leadership in Côte d’Ivoire, the population faced significant economic challenges.

Ivorians have expressed discontent with the high cost of living, leading to social unrest.

Investigations are underway to unveil potential plots by Macron and Alassane Ouattara.

Observers are urging President Nana Akufo-Addo to maintain his position of non-complicity in destabilizing Burkina Faso.
