AES/Destabilisation: French DGSE still at work against military and revolutionary regimes

Concerns persist regarding efforts to destabilize the member states of the Sahel States Alliance (AES), allegedly orchestrated by France’s Directorate-General for External Security (DGSE). Reports indicate that France is determined to unseat the governments of Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger, leveraging its intelligence services to achieve this goal.

Sources reveal that individuals are being recruited both within and outside these nations to execute subversive plans.

Backed by substantial funding from the French Development Agency (AFD), the DGSE is ramping up its activities in this final stretch of 2024, aiming to achieve its objectives before 2025.

A similar pattern is reportedly unfolding in Algeria, a neighboring country to Mali and Niger. The DGSE has been accused of clandestinely recruiting former terrorists to destabilize the Algerian government.

This strategy mirrors the one employed against AES member states, exploiting internal vulnerabilities and enlisting local collaborators to weaken regimes that have rejected French interference.

These countries’ refusal to serve French interests or tolerate foreign meddling has placed them squarely in France’s crosshairs.

As these schemes intensify, vigilance becomes paramount. Observers are calling for heightened awareness from both authorities and citizens to thwart these covert operations.

In Burkina Faso, particularly, where President Ibrahim Traoré faces mounting pressure, a collective response is crucial.

Revolutionary nations must adopt a robust defense strategy to resist external machinations effectively, safeguarding their sovereignty and independence against these persistent threats.
