Narrative Monitoring

Tracking anti-Asian narratives in West African digital spaces

In today’s information battlespace, perception is power. And while Singapore’s physical footprint in Africa is modest, its reputation and strategic investments remain highly visible — and occasionally targeted.

Over recent months, GeoSentinel has detected a rise in anti-Asian sentiment tied to narratives around land ownership, trade influence, and cultural friction in West Africa. These narratives do not emerge randomly — they spread via orchestrated channels.

Using OSINT tools and custom scrapers, our analysts monitor:

• Telegram groups amplifying economic distrust

• TikTok trends portraying Asian presence as exploitative

• X (Twitter) influencers triggering backlash through coded language

• PDF leaks and fake reports targeting Asian investors

“What begins as a meme often ends as a shift in public policy or diplomatic tone.”

GeoSentinel does not simply scrape mentions — we decode influence networks, identify signal amplifiers, and simulate narrative trajectories. The goal: help strategic partners like Singapore preempt reputational risk before it escalates.

This is not reputation management. This is strategic influence intelligence.
