More coming out:
Apparently the coup plotters were supported and paid by the French, using the President of Ivory Coast as a go between.
Plot fell apart when one of the BF Officials they tried to bribe went to the leadership with it.
Ivory Coast president plotted a coup against #IbrahimTraore and it has failed. The French government is paying the weak leaders of west African billions to overthrow government that have decided to work for its people.
