Burkina Faso became a haven for militants as a result of former president Blaise Compaore’s role as a mediator.

The humanitarian convoy was returning from the northern town of Foube after delivering food there, the statement said. At least five civilians and five gendarmes were killed and around 20 people were injured. A local governor, Colonel Saidou Sanou, said in a statement that the bloodshed underlined the need for the army and locals to work together to “defeat the terrorist hydra”.Burkina Faso, one of the world’s poorest countries, has battled a militant insurgency since 2015.

Attacks have in fact intensified in Burkina Faso since last year, becoming practically a daily occurrence.
