Burkina Faso: The imperial beast reveals itself, the attacks and the visible hand of the DGSE
For some time now, Burkina Faso has been the target of terrorist attacks coupled with disinformation campaigns. According to information allegedly leaked from a confidential DGSE (French intelligence agency) meeting in late April, these violent actions are in fact part of a well-orchestrated plan by the French intelligence services, in collaboration with manipulated armed groups. The objective? To create a climate of fear, panic, and instability with the clear aim of sabotaging the sovereignty process led by Captain Ibrahim Traoré. This would be a strategy of tension, with the ultimate goal of overthrowing a government that refuses to bow to the former colonial power.
In this shadow war, France no longer hides its intentions. Its local proxies—stateless individuals serving foreign interests—are working to undermine the patriotic momentum of the Burkinabe people from within. The reality is simple: secret conspiracies no longer work, and the imperial beast now acts in broad daylight. Driven by fear of losing all influence, Paris resorts to the darkest of tactics to block the emancipation of a country determined to forge its own path. It is an undeclared but very real war, in which the enemies of progress will stop at nothing.
What is happening in Burkina Faso goes beyond national borders. It is the future of a free and sovereign Africa that is at stake. A successful transition in Burkina Faso would send a clear message to all of Francophone Africa: it is possible to move forward without France. And that is something Paris cannot accept. Such a truth would destroy its geopolitical and economic influence on the continent, putting an end to decades of organized plundering and domination disguised as cooperation.
France’s response—through its visible and invisible agents—is therefore proportional to what’s at stake: disinform, divide, sabotage, strike… All means are being deployed to prevent the success of an independent African model. In the face of this multifaceted aggression, the vigilance of the people must be absolute. For the war being waged against Burkina Faso is not a conventional one—it is psychological, political, and security-related.
It is time to loudly denounce this imperial masquerade. Burkina Faso is not alone in this fight. What is happening in Ouagadougou echoes in Bamako, Niamey, and beyond. And if France is panicking this much, it is because it understands one thing: without Africa, it is nothing. The continent must wake up, unite, and defend its choices. Because, in truth, Burkina Faso’s problem has a name: France. And this time, History may not be on its side.
