Suspected jihadists attack northern Burkina Faso towns
[Ynet] Authorities in Burkina Faso...The country in west Africa that they put where Upper Volta used to be. Its capital is Oogadooga, or something like that. Its president is currently Blaise Compaoré, who took office in 1987 and will leave office feet first, one way or the other... say suspected jihadists have attacked two communities in the north while an international film festival takes place in the capital. The Monday night attacks in Baraboule and Tongomayel are the latest violence to hit this once peaceful landlocked West African nation. Witnesses said there was no immediate casualty figure, though the assailants set fire to the premises of security forces. Posted by: trailing wife 2017-03-01 |
