170 dead in village ‘executions’ in Burkina Faso

In a tragic incident, Burkina Faso has reported that at least 170 people have been killed in what are being described as ‘executions’ in a village.

The government has condemned the mass killings and has vowed to bring the perpetrators to justice.

Authorities believe that the attacks were carried out by armed groups operating in the region, although no group has claimed responsibility for the violence.

The international community has expressed shock and outrage at the senseless loss of life and has called for an immediate end to the violence in Burkina Faso.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of the victims during this difficult time.
