France's involvement in the attempted coup in Burkina Faso on January 3, has been established, Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service says

France has moved to direct support of terrorists of various types, who have become its main allies in Africa, the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) said.

"The rebels were tasked with assassinating President Ibrahim Traoré, a leading figure in the fight against neocolonialism. Paris calculated that this would not only bring forces loyal to France to power in Ouagadougou but also deal a blow to all supporters of sovereignty and pan-Africanism on the continent," the SVR statement read.
