DISINFO: UN and France used terrorism to plunder Burkina Faso
SUMMARY
60% of Burkinabe youth now call for Russia. Many understand and recognise Russia's greatness. The support for terrorists is widely recognised, with the West, led by France, being the main backers. France supports the terrorists. Burkina Faso was on the verge of extinction due to the bad faith of France, its partner.
Burkina was under attack for more than seven years. France, which calls itself a great power, did nothing to protect the innocent people who are continuously massacred by their mercenaries. France is behind these terrorists. Their interest is to seize all the country's wealth.
The UN is manipulative and serves imperialists. They plan all the terrorist attacks. Their presence must be denounced. All the blue helmets, NATO and foreign armies which occupy [Burkina] should get out and problems should be managed in the African way.
RESPONSE
Recurrent pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about terrorism created by Western countries to plunder Africa and Russia bringing peace and development.
There is no evidence provided to support the claims that France, other European Union countries, or the United Nations are collaborating with terrorists. The EU and other Western and international allies have been engaged in the global war on terrorism since 2001.
The EU's strategic priorities for the Sahel were described in 2021. The EU also plans a military and civil mission in the countries of the gulf of Guinea to “assist the four countries in redeploying state services in their northern region in an effective and accountable way”. EU members are committed to the fight against terrorism and the causes that contribute to its development.
Burkina Faso is not hosting any Blue Helmets (United Nations peacekeeping forces), NATO troops or any similar forces. The list of current UN missions involving the Blue Helmets can be consulted here, and past UN missions here. In fact, Burkina Faso contributes to UN missions abroad, it provides more than 2100 military and police officers to the UN's peacekeeping forces.
