On February 25, in the northern region of Burkina Faso, villages including Komsilga, Nodin, and Soro in the Yatenga province witnessed “massive murderous attacks”, resulting in approximately 170 fatalities, along with injuries and significant material losses, Aly Benjamin Coulibaly, a prosecutor at the Ouahigouya high court, said in a statement.
The public prosecutor’s office has dispatched investigators on Thursday to find out facts and gather evidence, he added.
