Islamist Militant Attack in Burkina Faso Kills Dozens Including Ghanaian Traders An attack by suspected Islamist militants in eastern Burkina Faso has left dozens dead, including several Ghanaian traders who were traveling through the region, according to local authorities and security sources. The assault, which targeted a convoy of vehicles along a remote roadway, underscores the persistent insecurity gripping parts of the Sahel. Officials said armed assailants ambushed the convoy, opening fire on passengers and setting vehicles ablaze. Survivors described scenes of chaos as gunmen surrounded the transport route, forcing vehicles to halt before carrying out the attack. Security forces were later deployed to secure the area and evacuate the wounded, though access to the site was complicated by its distance from major urban centers. https://www.qncnews.com/islamist-militant-attack-in-burkina-faso-kills-dozens-including-ghanaian-traders/?utm_source=bluesky&utm_medium=jetpack_social
