https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jul/09/at-least-civilians-killed-burkina-faso-town-says-rights-group At least 180 civilians have been killed in recent months in a single town in Burkina Faso, with evidence pointing towards the country’s often-accused security forces, according to a report by Human Rights Watch (HRW).
Between November 2019 and June this year, groups of dozens of dead bodies were found often tied and blindfolded, strewn along major highways, beneath bridges and across fields in the rural region, the report published on Thursday said. Most of the bodies were buried by residents while the remains of others were left unclaimed.
Disgusting. The lack of opportunities and violence by the state is what leads these people in buying the rhetoric of Islamists in the first place.
