An al-Qaeda-linked group has claimed it killed 200 soldiers in an attack on a military base in northern Burkina Faso. The base in Djibo town was attacked early Sunday, along with a police station and a market. Although there’s no official confirmation of the death toll, residents said many soldiers and civilians died. The group, Jama’a Nusrat ul-Islam wa al-Muslimin (JNIM), released a statement claiming responsibility, according to a US-based organisation that tracks militant activity. The attack is part of a recent surge in violence by JNIM in the region. Earlier, the group’s leader in Burkina Faso warned locals in Djibo to leave the area. Burkina Faso has been struggling with extremist violence for years.

  1. And no mention on the funding of the Jihadists? Instability in the region means success for French/Anglo/American cartels who exploit the chaos so they can continue to profiteer from the "instability" in the region.

  2. Komisch das die ganze sogenannten muslimische Terroristen immer die feinde des Westen angreift, jeder Mensch mit ein gesunden Verstand weiß woher sie kommen und wer sie bezahlt, ausbildet und bewaffnet

  3. Who do you think sent these terrorists, especially now that some major Western countries are trying to eliminate one of the few true (at least it seems so for now) fighters for the freedom of all of Africa and the African peoples, Ibrahim Traore!!???

  4. You and your other western media have started giving and impression that the government of Burkina is failing to deal with the terrorism, and protect its people

  5. You're qns of the role of international corporation is well calculated to emphasis the importance of the Western Power and other puppeteer blocks within African boundaries .

  6. This is an old video you people are only good at broadcasting bad news about Africa. You fail to publish that Burkina Faso army killed over 500 terrorists recently and are able to push the terrorists back.

  7. they are not soldiers that had been killed , the terrorist are liars and mainstream media are bias they conspired with the killers , this is how the devil works

  8. Firstpost this is disappointing. Ibrahim is a good leader although he was not an elected leader he looks genuine and wants to work towards self reliance of their just like what we Indians are trying.
