00:00No, Burkina Faso non ha arrestato un uomo francese.
00:07Ai generati videos falsely claiming a French woman was arrested for espionage in Burkina Faso
00:13have spread virally online.
00:15They claim to show Claire Dubois, a French NGO worker,
00:19being summoned and detained by Burkina Faso's leader Ibrahim Traore.
00:24The original video planting the story was first published on YouTube with this disclaimer,
00:29saying the story was a work of fiction.
00:32But that message has been removed in videos shared thousands of times on platforms such as TikTok, X and Facebook.
00:39This TikTok video was viewed over 2 million times.
00:42The fake news was then amplified by Russian state-sponsored media,
00:45despite it being initially labelled as fictional.
00:48Four French diplomats were released in Burkina Faso after being arrested for espionage back in December,
00:54but there is no evidence to suggest similar arrests have been made since.
00:58Burkina Faso, along with neighbouring Niger and Mali in the Sahel,
01:02are considered the epicenters of Russia's disinformation operations in Africa.
01:07Ibrahim Traore, Burkina Faso's leader, is a staunch Russian ally and earlier this month
01:13travelled to Moscow to meet Putin during Victory Day celebrations.
01:17This is what he said in an interview with state-controlled media Russia Today.
01:22Ibrahim Traore, who is just 37, has built mass support in Burkina Faso and beyond with anti-Western rhetoric,
01:35particularly aimed at its former colonial ruler, France.
01:51Analysts say his popularity has been boosted by coordinated pro-Russian propaganda campaigns.
01:57Analysts say his popularity has been boosted by the world ages.
01:59Analysts say his popularity has been boosted by the world ages 4,
02:01but they have been boosted by the world ages 4,
02:04so the world ages 4,
02:09yes.
02:10It is a very heavyweight stamp of my reputation and the world ages 1,
02:12it is for the really realtime investment.
02:14So, I will not turn over the world ages 4.
