13:56Now PlayingOn August 24, 2024, a horrific massacre unfolded near Barsalogho, a town in north-central Burkina Faso, resulting in an estimated 500 deaths. Suspected jihadists attacked hundreds of civilians who were digging trenches to protect their village, an action reportedly mandated by Burkinabè troops. The assault, one of the deadliest since terrorist groups linked to Al-Qaeda and the Islamic State began operating in the country a decade ago, has left the nation reeling. A survivor recounted the gruesome aftermath: "We went out with carts to collect the bodies of my older brothers. We spent a long time going through bodies piled up under trees." The tragedy highlights the ongoing security crisis in Burkina Faso, which led to a military coup in 2022. While the ruling junta condemned the violence, they have not provided official casualty figures. The militant group Jama'a Nusrat ul-Islam wa al-Muslimin claimed responsibility for the attack, asserting they targeted soldiers and militia members, though eyewitness accounts suggest many victims were civilians.
