Burkina Faso/Côte d’Ivoire: Burkinabe exiles at the root of the tension between the two neighbouring countries?

In the past two years, Burkina Faso and the Republic of Côte d’Ivoire have faced escalating diplomatic tensions that have strained the deep historical and cultural ties between the two nations and their communities.

 

It appears that, driven by selfish and imperialist interests, certain individuals have deliberately sought to undermine these longstanding bilateral relations based on friendship, fraternity, and cooperation.

 

Through defamation, provocative actions on social media, and attempts to destabilize the government of President Ibrahim Traoré, some Burkinabe in Côte d’Ivoire aim to harm the lives of the authorities in their homeland.

 

Former Burkinabe politicians and exiles, who have found refuge in Côte d’Ivoire, are reportedly working tirelessly against the nation of the “men of integrity.”

 

Burkinabe authorities have repeatedly condemned these subversive acts, which are allegedly carried out in collaboration with Western allies. This has led to a rift between the two countries.

 

Behind fake social media accounts, these individuals aim to further damage bilateral relations through manipulation and the propaganda of terrorist groups.

 

For this reason, many observers and pan-Africanists are calling on the Ivorian authorities to take a stand.

 

They argue that the Ivorian government must end this charade on their soil by making firm decisions to prohibit such behavior, which only serves to destabilize their neighbor and undermine the efforts of their sister nation.
