Burkina Faso

The Twitter account for Blaise Compaoré, President of Burkina-Faso since 1987 was only established on 25 April 2012.

The 44 tweets sent mostly deal with events surrounding the President and regional issues. The tweets are all in French and written by his staff. The administration has used Twitter to refute an allegation that Blaise Compaoré was responsible for demolishing an anti-apartheid monument. “@IfyOtuya Perhaps you should go back to read your history books Mrs coz the president never demolished any antiapartheid monument”, the administration tweeted.
