In recent weeks there has been a campaign to promote military coups across West Africa. Some analysts believe that this social media campaign is being sponsored by Russia. The Russians have denied that they have anything to do with it.
Rumours of a coup in the Ivory Coast have been spread on social media in the past 2 days. Despite the fact that people living in Abidjan have said that there is no coup, the rumour mongers have posted videos of street battles in other places and claimed that they are videos of Abidjan. They also claim that President Alassane Outtara has fled, despite the fact that the president actually attended a cabinet meeting yesterday.
The rumours began in Ghana and spread to Nigeria.
