A dozen military soldiers and four volunteer fighters who work alongside the army in Burkina Faso died when their military unit was attacked
An attack by suspected Islamic extremist rebels on a military unit in Burkina Faso Friday has killed at least 16 security forces and injured many others, the army announced.
Burkina Faso is grappling with rising jihadi violence linked to al-Qaida and the Islamic State group that’s killed thousands and displaced some 2 million people. “Jihadists control the area just north of where the incident occurred, so they had the time and information to plan this complex attack,” he said.
