AFP - Abidjan – With less than a fortnight to go before presidential election in Côte d'Ivoire, three other west African states – all ruled by military juntas – have been waging a disinformation campaign to disrupt the vote.
Accounts linked to the juntas in Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger have, among other things, announced the (fake) death of Ivorian President Alassane Ouattara and alerted followers to a (fictitious) coup.
