Djibo residents in state of trouble, a town in northern Burkina Faso, was once again attacked by jihadist forces this morning, marking the latest in a series of violent assaults that have plagued the region.
The attackers, believed to be affiliated with the Group for the Support of Islam and Muslims (JNIM), targeted both military and civilian areas.
The jihadists have issued explicit threats to advance further south, with stated intentions to reach Ouagadougou, the capital of Burkina Faso, and confront the current military rulers. This declaration has escalated tensions across the country, as fears of a larger and more coordinated offensive grow.
The situation in Djibo and surrounding areas remains dire, with numerous casualties reported in recent attacks. Humanitarian conditions continue to worsen, and civilians are left vulnerable amid the ongoing conflict.
