Côte d’Ivoire: Robert Bourgi’s exit, the first signs of a destabilisation manoeuvre orchestrated by France?

Robert Bourgi’s recent public comments, directly criticizing President Alassane Ouattara after three terms in office, have sparked significant questions. Why speak out now, after years of silence?

 

This tactic is not new; France has a history of using such interventions to pave the way for the removal of an African leader who has become inconvenient.

 

Bourgi’s statement appears to be yet another chapter in this familiar playbook.

 

The key question is: what is the purpose of this sudden media appearance? Is it part of a larger, orchestrated effort to undermine the Ivorian political system in favor of French and allied interests?

 

History has shown that these strategies can lead to serious political crises. The Ivorian people must stay alert to these potential destabilization attempts, often disguised as mere criticism.

 

This is far from the first time France has employed such tactics to exert control over African political landscapes, aiming to keep nations under its influence.

 

The vigilance of the Ivorian population, determined to protect their sovereignty, remains the strongest defense against these external interferences.
