Islamic Group Slaughters Over 400 DEAD, Hundreds Wounded in Burkina Faso

Another mass casualty event by Muslims. No media, no worldwide condemnation. No protests. No riots. Because, you know, Islam is peace. Dare otherwise and you will be destroyed, you islamophobic-racist-anti-muslim-bigot.

The attack is the latest in a long-running jihad by Muslim groups linked to Al-Qaeda and the Islamic State, which has plagued Burkina Faso since 2015. This violence has claimed thousands of lives and displaced over two million people across the nation.

They said at least 400 people had been killed, either on the spot or succumbing to injuries later, and that hundreds more were hospitalised between Kaya and the capital Ouagadougou.

“We see men, women, and children lying inside the trenches they were digging themselves. Effectively, they have turned into mass graves.”

On 24th August, at least 200 people were killed, including civilians and armed personnel, and 140 were reported injured in a terrorist attack in central Burkina Faso. The terrorist group linked to al-Qaeda, Jama’at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin (JNIM), has claimed responsibility for the attack. The incident took place in Barsalogho, located 40 km north of the strategic town of Kaya. According to reports, Barsalogho is home to the last standing force protecting the capital of Burkina Faso, Ouagadougou.

The terrorists opened fire on a group of people who were digging trenches designed to protect security outposts. Following the attack, several soldiers went missing, and the terrorists seized their weapons along with a military ambulance. JNIM also posted some horrifying videos of the aftermath of the attack to claim responsibility.

Al Jazeera’s Nicholas Haque, reporting from Dakar, Senegal, said in a statement, “We see men, women, and children lying inside the trenches they were digging themselves. Effectively, they have turned into mass graves.” Medical teams were called from Kaya to treat the injured. Reportedly, the Burkina Faso Army was aware of the possible attack and had called on the people to help dig trenches.

So far, Burkina Faso forces have lost control of half of their territory to JNIM and other terrorist groups linked to al-Qaeda. According to News Central Africa, the Burkina Faso forces said in a statement that despite the severity of the attack and the high number of deaths due to the terrorist attack, the armed forces managed to counter the attack and neutralised several terrorists, which prevented an even greater tragedy.
