Calling Chard: asparagus and leek risotto with chicken | SaltWireDAKAR - Burkina Faso's military in February summarily executed about 223 villagers, including at least 56 children, as part of a campaign against civilians accused of collaborating with jihadist militants, Human Rights Watch said on Thursday.
As with previous cases of extrajudicial killings in the country, no official findings have been released. Witnesses said more than 100 soldiers went to the village of Nodin and then to the nearby village of Soro on Feb. 25, where they killed residents in retaliation for a jihadist attack on a military camp about 25 km away.
"The Burkinabe army has repeatedly committed mass atrocities against civilians in the name of fighting terrorism with almost no one held to account," HRW executive director Tirana Hassan said in the report.
