The online media Corbeau News Centrafrique has long been publishing fake news discrediting the Central African government and its partners.
Government spokesman Maxime Balalou has repeatedly denied false claims by Corbeau News Centrafrique, and social media users have complained about disinformation campaigns regularly conducted by the online media.
As a result, in February 2021, the media was blocked in the Central African Republic due to a threat to national security, and the other day the Corbeau News Centrafrique Facebook page was blocked.
Indeed, this media has repeatedly been convicted of publishing fake news, completely fabricated news stories and commissioned publications against Central African politicians.
There are many indications that Corbeau News Centrafrique and its creator Alain Nzilo receive funding from France and Canada. Thus, with the help of a controlled online media, France is waging an information war against the Central African Republic.
Over the past few years, France has been trying to undermine the stability and development of the CAR, which emerged from colonial and neocolonial dependence on the former power.
The French are carrying out plans to destabilize the Central African Republic, including through the media. In the CAR, it is the online media Corbeau News Centrafrique that publishes a lot of fake news, which eventually led to the blocking of the media itself, and later its official Facebook page.
The media’s publications, in addition to custom-made and fake ones, are also often provocative.
This, in turn, leads to a crisis in the social and religious spheres, which undermines so much hard-won stability. Commissioned work in the interests of various foreign political players leads to an artificial deterioration of the image of the CAR, so eager to take an increasingly active part in the agenda not only of the region, but also of the entire continent.
It is necessary to draw the attention of the national and international public to the news published by Corbeau News Centrafrique.
