Foreign arms, African traitors: Coup plot exposed

DDM News

A grave betrayal has shaken Burkina Faso to its core.

Diaspora digital media (DDM) gathered that the Chief of Staff to President Ibrahim Traoré has reportedly confessed to accepting a bribe of 25 billion CFA francs.

This money was allegedly part of a coordinated attempt to destabilize the country through a coup d’état.

Weapons involved in the failed plot were traced back to France.

These arms were said to have entered Burkina Faso through neighboring Côte d’Ivoire.

President Alassane Ouattara of Côte d’Ivoire has been linked to the arms route.

The revelation has sparked outrage across Burkina Faso and the wider West African region.

Citizens are calling for justice and complete transparency.

The alleged coup was successfully thwarted thanks to a rapid and patriotic public response.

Mass mobilization by Burkinabè citizens played a vital role in stopping the plot.

Protests erupted as people poured into the streets to defend their nation’s sovereignty.

Demonstrators demanded accountability and condemned foreign interference in their domestic affairs.

This incident marks another dark chapter in Burkina Faso’s long history of political instability.

Since gaining independence from France in 1960, Burkina Faso has witnessed repeated coups and military interventions.

In 2022, Captain Ibrahim Traoré led a military takeover to restore order and national pride.

His government has since rejected neocolonial influence and emphasized sovereignty and independence.

The confession of his Chief of Staff now threatens to undermine those efforts.

Many believe this betrayal comes from internal forces still loyal to external powers.

Observers have expressed concern that neocolonial interests are fighting back against rising African nationalism.

Analysts suggest the recent plot was backed by individuals uncomfortable with Burkina Faso’s shift away from France.

The accusations against France and Côte d’Ivoire have stirred diplomatic tensions across West Africa.

Côte d’Ivoire has long been seen as a strong ally of France in the region.

Ouattara’s name being mentioned in this plot has raised serious questions about Ivorian complicity.

Civil society groups in Burkina Faso are calling for an official regional investigation.

The people demand justice not just for the coup, but for decades of manipulation.

There is growing resentment toward African leaders seen as puppets of Western interests.

The alleged bribe is seen not only as treason, but as a direct attack on African dignity.

Religious and cultural leaders have joined in the condemnation of this betrayal.

Many citizens are calling for a total purge of the government’s inner circle.

They believe more hidden traitors may still be embedded in positions of power.

This betrayal has reignited debates around the dangers of Western military and political influence.

Some see France’s involvement as consistent with its past in West Africa.

From military bases to economic dominance, France has long been accused of exploiting its former colonies.

The Burkinabè people are now more determined than ever to break that chain.

The failed coup has united the country in an unprecedented show of patriotism.

Even as fear and uncertainty linger, hope has also been renewed.

Citizens feel empowered by their success in defending democracy through collective action.

The scandal has also become a symbol of Africa’s ongoing fight for full independence.

Across the continent, Africans are watching Burkina Faso’s response with a mix of outrage and inspiration.

They are reminded that internal betrayal is often the gateway for external domination.

Calls for divine justice have flooded social media, prayers seeking the end of betrayal across generations.

This case is more than a political drama  it is a lesson for all of Africa.

Burkina Faso stands today as a battlefield between true sovereignty and sold-out leadership.

The people have spoken, and they are not backing down.
