NEW YORK, USA, July 26, 2021,-/African Media Agency /-Six per cent of the population in the West African country is now internally displaced, with more than 1.3 million people uprooted in just over six weeks, according to latest Government figures.

This incident was the deadliest attack in Burkina Faso since 2015. The agency also recently registered 179 asylum seekers in northern Benin, but thousands more are reportedly located in border areas inaccessible to humanitarians due to insecurity.
