Dozens killed in latest Sahel militant attack - The January coup was supposed to improve the security situation in Burkina Faso but little has changed
Last week, Burkina Faso’s leader addressed the nation to reassure Burkinabés that his security measures were working.
The defence minister, Barthélémy Simporé, told journalists on Wednesday that the bomb was triggered remotely and hit a vehicle carrying women and children. On 1 July, four civilians were killed when their tricycle hit an IED along the same road. Two subsequent attacks — on the Djibo-Bourzanga road and the Dori-Sebba road, both near the border with Niger — killed 17 soldiers.“This is proof that we don’t have control of this route,” said Mahamadou Savadogo, a former police officer and now a security expert, after the attack.
