At least 223 civilians, including 56 children, were executed by the Burkina Faso soldiers, indicating severe military atrocities recognized as crimes against humanity by Human Rights Watch.
The military's campaign against civilians cooperating with Islamist militants resulted in the worst military abuses in Burkina Faso in nearly a decade, with reports of additional massacres in other villages involving the killing of dozens, including babies.
