Burkina Faso attack: Al-Qaeda affiliate says 200 soldiers killed in attack on military base



In Burkina Faso, there are reports that 200 soldiers have been killed in attacks by an Al Qaeda affiliate.
It happened in the northern province of Loroum. The attacks follow an earlier assault in which 60 soldiers were killed at a military post in the same province.
Nearly half of Burkina Faso is not under government control.
Attacks from armed groups linked to al Qaeda are on the rise, not only in Burkina Faso but other African countries in the Sahel.

  1. You are wicked!!! All you are interested is to humiliate us with your stories. You will never report anything good about Africa except the ones you want to destroy us with. We don't need the west just go out of our continent

  2. west is known for de-mantling african and asian countries using terrorist as proxies, they fund terrorist groups. Pakistan minister confirmed it on sky news lol. it's crazyy. May your leader be protected, he's gem.

  3. This is the true fight that all the woke people should be fighting.. this is what we all mean when we talk about how white people have privilege and keep the black man down.. it’s this, destabilisation, never letting true sovereignty or prosper..

  4. Fake News this Chanel should be banned and closed. If you don’t have accurate news to present shut up and leave Africa alone

  5. This is misinformation. Why are you not saying Traoure killed more than 900 terrorists? You will not corrupt us. Africa is awakening. We are standing with Captain Africa next president Ibrahim Traore together we stand strong
