Yet, mobilisations and rallies rage in support of Burkina Faso’s government and the Alliance of Sahel States (AES). So, what accounts for this significant difference in perception? This clip shows Burkinabé President Ibrahim Traoré speaking on 20 June to local journalists working for Radiodiffusion Télévision du Burkina (RTB) about the need to be aware of these imperialist media outlets. As he pointed out, inaccurate news stories can have dire consequences for a country’s internal politics. Traoré referenced media coverage of former Ivorian President Laurent Gbagbo, who served from 2000 until 2011 and was acquitted in 2019 of alleged crimes against humanity in the International Criminal Court (ICC). The case shifted the political tide in the Ivory Coast by securing the rule of Gbagbo’s rival, the ardent French ally and current president Alassane Ouattara. He also referenced the assassination of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, whom Western media outlets had depicted as a dictator before being k*lled following the 2011 NATO invasion. The North African state collapsed amidst an ensuing civil war that has torn the country into three parts. Plus, slave markets were established as a result of the chaos. The upheaval in Libya also destroyed thousands of lives in the Sahel because paramilitaries funnelled weapons seized from the fallen Libyan state into the Sahel. Traoré pointed to French-owned media such as Radio France International (RFI), France 24 and Le Monde. He also called out Jeune Afrique, a news site and magazine founded owned by French-Ivorian businessmen and close friends of Ouattara. This all begs the question: What media sources do you trust?
