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.
