And here yet again, the military of the country seems powerless to stop the jihadis.
“Suspected Jihadist Attack Kills ‘Several Dozen’ Soldiers in Burkina,” Defense Post, March 30, 2025 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
“Several dozen” soldiers and civilian auxiliaries have been killed in a suspected jihadist attack in eastern Burkina Faso, local and security sources told AFP on Sunday.
Since 2015 Burkina Faso has been plagued by jihadist violence from groups linked to the Islamic State group or Al-Qaeda.
In the latest attack, a security source in Tapoa province said an army detachment from the main city of Diapaga was targeted in a “violent attack” on Friday.
The victims were regular army soldiers and civilian volunteers, and there were “many wounded,” the source added.
A separate security source confirmed the attack to AFP, adding that “several terrorists were neutralised in the retaliation” and that the army had launched a sweep of the area.
According to a hospital source in the eastern city of Fada N’Gourma, “around 30 wounded, all from the security forces, were evacuated yesterday (Saturday)” to the hospital center in the region.
“While the detachment was under attack, the town was also targeted by terrorists who set fire to shops and homes,” said one resident in Diapaga.
“The day after the attack, gunfire was also heard around the town.”…
Jihadist violence has caused more than 26,000 deaths in that time, according to conflict monitor ACLED, while more than two million Burkinabe people have been displaced.

mzlums are working overtime to murder as many people as they can. Either governments are in league with the murderers, or they are too weak and afraid to put up a fight.

I truly believe that many of our political leaders around the world are bought and paid fore with money from muslim/islamic countries. Or are involved in lucrative business deals with islamic countries and business.

Most black-ruled African countries have useless militaries. White-ruled South Africa had an exceptionally good military, so did Rhodesia before it became Zimbabwe, but under ANC in South Africa it’s now the usual African mess. Inverted Midases, everything they touch turns to scheit.

To me it it amazing to behold. When South Africa had apartheid, a host of Western countries got all sweaty in the armpits, ranted and raged in the U.N. about apartheid injustices, but now when these African countries are a total mess with Muslims rampaging around murdering brutally and raping, these ‘wondrously’ sanctimonious countries, particularly Sweden, Canada and Australia ignore the catastrophe. Their media are is almost silent. No more the yells for ‘human rights’ and equality.
