Burkinabe justice issued an international arrest warrant on 13 November 2026 for Ivorian influencer Camille Makosso. The announcement was made by Pinguedewindé Désiré Sawadogo, prosecutor general at the Ouagadougou Court of Appeal, according to Fraternité Matin.
The warrant targeting Camille Makosso is part of a series of proceedings opened by the specialised judicial division of the Ouaga II High Court against more than 45 individuals and legal entities, including several political, military and media figures. The Office of the Prosecutor General has also filed extradition requests in some cases, notably against former minister Djibrill Yipènè Bassolé, journalist Newton Ahmed Barry and France 24 commentator Wassim Nasr.
The proceedings concern allegations including complicity in a terrorist criminal association, terrorist financing, glorification of terrorism and disclosure of content considered subversive. Naïm Touré and Alassane Conombo officiel are being prosecuted for disclosing images and videos with terrorist connotations and glorification of terrorism, while Dramane Barry is being prosecuted for terrorist criminal association and incitement to rebellion.
The Office of the Prosecutor General has also contacted US judicial authorities regarding content disseminated on digital platforms and asked Meta to identify the administrators of certain accounts under investigation.
