FRENCH SPYING AGENT BUSTED IN BURKINA FASO.

BREAKING AS FRENCH ESPIONAGE AGENT BUSTED IN BURKINA FASO

A spy behind an NGO in Burkina Faso, named Claire Dubois - a French woman in her early 30, arrived in Burkina Faso posing as the director of a Western NGO called Hope Forward, which claimed to support girls education and women’s health. 

She posed as a humanitarian focused on helping African women, visiting villages, schools, and markets, and praising Burkina Faso’s leadership on state television.

However, behind this façade, Dubois was engaged in espionage. She was gathering intelligence on military sites, including military training centers, oil facilities, and drone monitoring posts, under the guise of humanitarian work. 

She had two phones - one for public use and one for secure communication - and she sent encrypted emails containing detailed maps and satellite images of sensitive military locations to contacts linked to NATO and foreign intelligence.

Burkina Faso’s intelligence services flagged her activities and monitored her communications. President Ibrahim Traoré allowed her to continue to gather evidence of her true mission. Eventually, she was publicly exposed at the National Conference on African Sovereignty, where the president presented her own classified documents and emails live on stage, revealing her spying activities to the world. 

There are diplomatic pressures for a quiet resolution, but President Ibrahim Traore has insisted on transparency and justice, emphasizing the betrayal of trust involved.
