Time for the UN to initiate a thoroughgoing study of “Islamophobia” in Burkina Faso.
“At least 15 Catholic worshippers killed in attack during a service in Burkina Faso,” by Chinedu Asadu, Associated Press, February 25, 2024:
ABUJA, Nigeria — At least 15 Catholic worshippers were killed in a Burkina Faso village on Sunday when gunmen attacked a community as they gathered for prayers in the country’s conflict-hit northern region, church officials said.
The violence in the village of Essakane was a “terrorist attack” that left 12 of the Catholic faithful dead at the scene, while three others died later as they were being treated for their wounds, according to a statement issued by Abbot Jean-Pierre Sawadogo, vicar-general of the Catholic Diocese of Dori, where the attack happened.
No further details were provided about the attack, which no group claimed responsibility for. But suspicion fell on jihadis who have frequently attacked remote communities and security forces, especially in the northern region….
About half of Burkina Faso is outside government control as jihadi groups have ravaged the country for years. Fighters have killed thousands and displaced more than 2 million people, further threatening the stability of the country that had two coups in 2022….

There they go again!
Those Christians; attacking the poor Muslims machetes with their necks. Getting them all bloody!
somehistory says
mozlums doing what mozlums do, and what those who lie on behalf of mozlums want to keep hidden.
The terrorists/murderers are just like hamas, hezbollah, isis, al queda, al shabab, boko haram, houthis, iran’s police, military and the average mozlum male; including those who favor such by rioting, mobbing, screaming, and lying about the fight with Israel.
The goal is to completely kill off everyone who refuses to bow down to islam’s false god (satan the devil).

Exactly who is supplying the jihads in Nigeria?
After all, they are well fed – and well-armed.
somehistory says
The U.S. government (via taxpayers’ hard-earned $$) has sent them a whole bunch of weapons. Perhaps food too.
Or maybe the food comes from the farmers they have slaughtered.
If the latter is the source of their food, then it will dry up as they murder off the rest of the Christians.
James Lincoln says
All likely so, somehistory.
Tragic – and criminal.
