Burkina Faso: Jihadis murder 100 people who were helping security forces dig trenches to protect their outposts
It’s clear that the jihadis are a superior force; the “security forces” are no match for them. Who is funding the jihadis, and why? Could it be that they have broad support even among the wealthy in the Islamic world? That would explode the West’s dominant narrative about who they are and who supports them, […]
Burkina Faso: ‘Group for the Support for Islam and Muslims’ and other jihadis have murdered thousands since 2014
“The situation has been described as the world’s most neglected crisis.” Why is it neglected?

Burkina Faso: Muslims murder at least 40 civilians in jihad attack on town
Here are jihadis directly targeting civilians, and aside from a bit of huffing and puffing from a low-level UN rep, no one seems to mind. Why? Israel is not involved. “Rebels tied to Al-Qaida killed at least 40 civilians in Burkina Faso, UN says,” AP, November 29, 2023: ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) — At least 40 […]

Burkina Faso: Jihadis kill 53 members of the government’s security forces
The jihadis once again show that the government forces are no match for them. No “journalists,” however, seem interested in explaining why the jihad groups keep getting so much money, equipment, and recruits, or in investigating where that money and equipment is coming from. “53 members of Burkina security forces killed in suspected jihadist attack,” […]
