Al Jazeera and western media propaganda are no different when it comes to Africa. They all have the same interests to steal Africas land and Africas wealth.

Another misinformation and lies, Binta Sidibe is even not from Burkina Faso and she does not have a relative here.
@
We know the truth
@
Lies…anything to try to invade that country and steal their resources
@
Those aint civilians
@
Al Jazeera is scared because in Captain Ibrahim Traoré latest speech, he exposed the Arabs slave trade. He said the Arabs enslaved black Africans for 1000 years and they want to keep that history hidden.

Current president of Burkina Faso is a great man. He is serving his nation by minimize France colonial influence on his nation and by using his gold reserves to support his country in self efficiency in agriculture and building good infrastructure in his country.

Very ashamed by Al- jazirah spreading misinformation and lies about Burkina Faso 🇧🇫 and Africa
@
Why Al jaziira spreading these lies?
Because they are agency for the West.
Why don’t you report the number of assignation attempts on Ibrahim Traoré?
Africans should be careful of whom they trust.
@
Bs & lies & propaganda. Terrorists supported, funded & armed by the French. 👊🏽

I belive after what i see in the past 4 years in youtube. When Western News call some people terrorists it is because those people are fighting for own freedom and do not obey to the western imperialism. I am an European but not everybody in Europe is brain washed.
@
Ibrahim traore ❤ burkina ❤eliminate the western American threat from your land love from Palestine ❤
@
I am so disappointed in all Jazeera lies

Leave Africa alone if you are not investing to advance a country. African people’s suffering can be traced back to western slavery and colonization. Enough is enough. Africans need to work out for themselves to prosper or to disappear eventually.

Come on AlJazeera, have some self-respect and stop being puppets of the Western govts.

Same old story. The government claims victory while the civilians provide the body count.

It certainly feels like a battle of narratives, Larry. It's hard to know who to trust when the stories conflict so sharply.
