Dozens killed during prayers at Burkina Faso mosque

Tragedy struck in Burkina Faso as dozens of worshippers were killed during prayers at a mosque in the country. The attack took place during Friday prayers, a sacred time for Muslims, when the assailants opened fire on the congregation.

The exact number of casualties is still unknown, but reports from local authorities suggest that at least 50 people were killed in the attack. The motive behind the attack is unclear, but Burkina Faso has been facing a surge in violence from extremist groups in recent years.

President Roch Kabore has condemned the attack, calling it a “barbaric act of terrorism.” He has promised to bring the perpetrators to justice and ensure the safety of all citizens in the country.

This tragic incident serves as a reminder of the ongoing conflict and instability in Burkina Faso, and the need for international support to address the root causes of violence in the region.
