The town of Djibo’s population swelled to 300,000 from 100,000. The 200,000 are refugees from al-Qaeda and Islamic State attacks elsewhere. And so now the jihadis are starving out the place where these people fled for refuge. This is reminiscent of ninth-century Islamic accounts of how Muhammad exiled two of Medina’s three Jewish tribes, the […]
Burkina Faso: Muslims murder at least 35 people in roadside bomb jihad attack
The jihadis control “many roads in the northern part of the country,” and “convoys escorted by soldiers are often the only safe way to travel between towns,” yet the convoy that the jihadis hit with their bomb “was escorted by the military.” Clearly the military is incapable of stopping the jihadis. “At Least 35 Killed […]
Burkina Faso: Muslims murder six civilians and injure two others in jihad attack on convoy returning from gold mine
Jihadis “have been increasingly targeting the country’s gold mining industry, leading to a plunge in production in the first half of 2022.” They would prefer that the country be poor and impoverished and Islamically correct rather than deal with infidels. “Six Killed in Mining Convoy Attack in Eastern Burkina Faso,” by Katarina Hoije, Bloomberg, August […]
Burkina Faso: Muslims murder five civilians, including a child, in jihad attack on military detachment
Why “Muslims”? Because jihadis are carrying out attacks such as this one in the name of Islam and in accord with its teachings. If they weren’t Muslims, this attack would not have happened. “Burkina Faso: Five civilians killed in attack, army says,” Africa News, July 11, 2022 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): Five civilians […]
Burkina Faso: Death toll from recent jihad attacks now 34

Burkina Faso: Muslims murder 22, injure many others in jihad massacre in village
More evidence of how ineffectual the Burkina Faso military is, and how indifferent the world is to massacres when the perpetrators are Muslims. “22 Killed by Jihadists in Burkina Faso,” International Christian Concern, July 5, 2022: 07/05/2022 (International Christian Concern) Burkina Faso- A jihadist attack on Sunday night in northwest Burkina Faso left 22 people dead and […]
Burkina Faso: Muslims storm baptism ceremony and open fire, murdering eight people

Burkina Faso: Muslims murder at least 55 people over the weekend
If any other group were the perpetrators of this, it would be international news. As it is, you will only read about it here, because it doesn’t fit the narrative. “55 People Killed in Suspected Islamic Extremist Attack in Burkina Faso,” Associated Press, June 13, 2022: OUAGADOUGOU, Burkina Faso (AP) – Gunmen killed at least […]
Burkina Faso: Muslims murder at least 10 gendarmes in jihad attack on gendarmerie post
Why are jihadist in Central and West Africa consistently able to overcome the armies and police forces of the various nations in which they operate? Who is funding and equipping them? No one seems in the least interested in the answers to these questions. “At least ten gendarmes killed in attack by suspected jihadists in […]
Burkina Faso: Muslims attack Catholic seminary, destroy cross, burn two dorms, classroom, and vehicle
Once again, the world yawns. Only if the roles were reversed, which they would not be and should not be, would the international media take any notice of this. The cross is an affront to Islam. The Qur’an claims that Jesus was not crucified, although in somewhat equivocal language for what is supposed to be […]
