Dual Attacks Leave Burkina Faso in Frenzied State, “Dire Situation” Reported

The Burkina Faso Armed Forces General Staff was forced to make public comments about a June 11th, militant attack on a military base in Mansila and shelling of a meeting of the Council of Ministers in the capital after claims of the death of Interim President Traore were circulated online. The General Staff decried the claims as disinformation and that cyber actors had posted false claims on a mimic page of the official Facebook page of the General Staff.
