Jihadist raid in Burkina Faso
Footage of yet another raid by motorcycle mounted militants in Burkina Faso. The jihadist group JNIM raided a village in the province of Yatenga, about 30 kilometers from the capital city. These acts of violence against unarmed or lightly armed people eroded the legitimacy of the regime in Ouagadougou. JNIM’s roving band ride fast and strike unpredictably, and have proven a difficult target for the military.
