Government spokesman Ouseni Tamboura says most of the attackers were children. Which has been strongly condemned by the United Nations. The UN children’s agency UNICEF said, ‘We strongly condemn the recruitment of children and adolescents by armed groups. This is a gross violation of their fundamental rights.
Attacks of Islamic extremists continue
Islamic extremists continue to attack the Sahel region of West Africa, including neighboring Niger and Mali, despite efforts by UN peacekeepers and international armed forces (United Nations on Burkina Faso). Local officials in the northern part of Burkina Faso said the Islamic group had been using children for the past few years. But this week’s attack is the biggest ever. This is very bad for a poor West African country, where attacks on civilians and soldiers have increased since 2018.
Millions of people had to leave their homes
According to UNICEF, thousands of people have been killed in Burkina Faso and more than 1.2 million people have been displaced from their homes (Massacre in Burkina Faso).
