A recent report by Human Rights Watch reveals that Burkina Fasoâs military participated in a massacre of at least 130 civilians, targeting the Fulani ethnic group. This violence in Solenzo, witnessed and documented through videos and testimonies, has caused significant displacement, with thousands fleeing to Mali. In retaliation, Islamist militants launched attacks in nearby regions, resulting in further civilian deaths. HRW emphasizes the need for an impartial investigation into these events and accountability for those responsible for the atrocities.
"Unfortunately, lives were lost during that terrifying time, and many families will never recover from the impact of the violence inflicted upon them."
"Human Rights Watch uncovered that Burkina Faso's military was responsible for these mass killings of Fulani civilians, which were followed by deadly reprisals by an Islamist armed group."
