The military in Burkina Faso is accused of killing over 220 people, including women and children, in a deliberate and recurring manner. Survivors describe horrifying scenes of mass shootings, with the military targeting civilians suspected of collaborating with extremist groups. This violence occurs in the context of a decade-long conflict with Islamist insurgents, which has made Burkina Faso the country hardest hit by terrorism. The resulting upheaval has led to the loss of tens of thousands of lives and the displacement of over two million people. The military's brutal tactics have raised serious concerns about human rights abuses and civilian safety in the region.
