Minister-Conseiller Exposes Sonko’s ‘Fake’ Image
Aldiouma Sow, a key advisor to the President of Burkina Faso, has made a scathing attack on Ousmane Sonko, the country’s Prime Minister.
In an interview with the TFM radio station, Sow claimed that Sonko had ‘caché son vrai visage’ (hided his true face) during his time in office.
Sonko has faced intense criticism from opposition parties and civil society groups over his handling of various issues, including the recent dismissal of Fifi Diakhaté, a prominent figure in the ruling party.
‘Dans l’histoire du Pastef, il faut distinguer deux étapes,’ Sow said. ‘Les reproches adressés à Ousmane Sonko étaient auparavant formulés par l’opposition. À l’époque, nous pensions qu’il s’agissait simplement de sa manière de mener le combat politique contre lui.’
However, Sow argued that once Sonko came to power, he revealed his ‘true face’, which was different from the image he presented during the election campaign.
‘Il nous avait caché son vrai visage,’ Sow claimed. ‘Ousmane Sonko nous a trahis.’

Sonko has faced numerous criticisms over his handling of various issues, including the recent dismissal of Fifi Diakhaté.
Aldiouma Sow argued that this was not an isolated incident, but rather a sign of a larger problem within the ruling party.
‘Aujourd’hui, la direction du parti est prise en otage par une faction messianique composée de deux ou trois personnes, qui font fonctionner le parti au détriment de ses propres intérêts,’ Sow said.
