US never targeted me in Sokoto airstrikes, says Gumi

Kaduna based Islamic cleric Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has dismissed reports that he was targeted by the United States during recent joint Nigeria US airstrikes on terrorist camps in Sokoto State.

Un seul réflexe : garder l’esprit critique

À l’heure du numérique, une image, une vidéo ou un fichier audio ne constituent plus forcément une preuve. L’essor des deepfakes et des contenus générés par l’intelligence artificielle impose désormais une vigilance accrue. Les autorités appellent à adopter un réflexe essentiel : douter avant de croire. Dans leurs messages de sensibilisation diffusés sur les réseaux sociaux, elles encouragent chacun à observer les incohérences, à poser des questions et à vérifier les sources avant de partager une information. « L’esprit critique permet de prendre du recul, d’analyser et de comprendre avant d’accepter une information », rappellent les campagnes d’éducation aux médias. Cette mise en garde intervient alors que les faux contenus se multiplient, souvent indétectables pour un œil non averti. Grâce à l’IA, il est désormais facile de manipuler une voix, une photo ou une séquence vidéo, brouillant la frontière entre […]
