Burkina Faso authorities have announced the neutralization of more than a hundred suspected terrorists following several attacks over the weekend that have claimed the lives of dozens of fighters.
Security sources consulted by the AIB news agency said that, in addition to «neutralizing» more than a hundred suspected terrorists, they have recovered «important logistics».
The authorities of the governorate of the northern region said Sunday that six soldiers and 34 members of the so-called Volunteers for the Defense of the Fatherland (VPD) had been ambushed about 15 kilometers from the locality of Ouahigouya.
The Burkinabe authorities, now led by the military coup leader Ibrahim Traoré, had decreed last Thursday a general mobilization to face the increase of jihadist attacks in the country, the work of both Al Qaeda and Islamic State affiliates.
