Actors who benefit from destabilisation

Domestic political spoilers
Actors seeking to weaken the administration, shape future elections, or intensify dissatisfaction around jobs, prices and governance failures.
Corruption-linked procurement networks
Groups that benefit when public attention is distorted, accountability weakens or reform slows.
Fraud and scam syndicates
Networks using impersonation, fake leadership content, deepfakes, cloned voices or investment scams to exploit public trust.
Resource opportunists
Actors that may benefit indirectly from weaker state leverage, policy distraction or prolonged fiscal stress.

Possible information warfare patterns

Leader impersonation scams
Fake presidential accounts, fraudulent announcements and AI-generated media designed to confuse or monetise public attention.
Political delegitimisation campaigns
Narratives that weaponise real grievances such as unemployment, corruption, medicine shortages and cost pressure.
Election-transition manipulation
False claims about coalitions, political capture, vote legitimacy or elite infighting.
Institutional fog operations
Campaigns designed to convince the public that nobody is credible: not government, media, courts or experts.
