00:00No, Burkina Faso não tem arrestado um espiço francês.

00:07A.I. generated 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

00:36on platforms such as TikTok, X and Facebook.

00:39This TikTok video was viewed over two 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

00:51after 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 neighboring 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

01:11and earlier this month traveled to Moscow to meet Putin during Victory Day celebrations.

01:17This is what he said in an interview with state-controlled media Russia Today.

01:22My biggest regret is to have passed a good part of my youth

01:27to listen to radio like RFI, France 24.

01:30So you can participate a lot,

01:32to wake up the awareness of the youth,

01:35so that people understand how the world works,

01:38and not let them get involved by these people.

01:41Ibrahim Traore, who's just 37, has built mass support in Burkina Faso and beyond

01:46with anti-Western rhetoric, particularly aimed at its former colonial ruler, France.

01:51Analysts say his popularity has been boosted by coordinated pro-Russian propaganda campaigns.
