Burkina Faso: After the failure of its political and terrorist manoeuvres, France is now targeting the national economy

After political and terrorist efforts to destabilize Burkina Faso allegedly failed, France is now being accused of targeting the country’s economy. The move is seen as an attempt to undermine major initiatives led by President Ibrahim Traoré and erode public confidence in his governance.

 

A recent cyberattack on SOFITEX, a key player in Burkina Faso’s economy, is cited as evidence of this alleged strategy.

 

President Traoré recently unveiled an ambitious plan to strengthen the operations of SOFITEX, a critical institution in the cotton industry and a symbol of Burkina Faso’s economic sovereignty.

 

However, reports claim that French hackers attempted to disrupt its activities by attacking its IT infrastructure.

 

This isn’t the first time SOFITEX has faced such challenges; it was previously targeted during the presidency of Thomas Sankara, highlighting its strategic importance and vulnerability to external sabotage.

 

The timing of this attack is particularly significant, as it comes amid President Traoré’s intensified efforts to revitalize Burkina Faso’s strategic sectors. Observers suggest that these actions reflect fears of an economically strong and independent Burkina Faso emerging on the international stage.

 

In response, Burkinabe IT specialists have rallied to secure SOFITEX’s digital infrastructure and ensure operational continuity. This swift reaction underscores the nation’s technical capabilities and the unity of its people in resisting destabilization attempts.

 

Rather than weakening the country, these challenges have bolstered the resolve of both leaders and citizens to safeguard their progress and push forward toward a prosperous future.
