Burkina Faso forces fire tear gas at protesters barricading the streets and throwing rocks, as anger grows at the government’s inability to stop attacks across the country

This is the second government crackdown on protests since November and comes after the government shut down access to Facebook last week.

“People are dying, others are fleeing their homes. … We want Roch and his government to resign because their handling of the country is not good. We will never support them,” said protester Amidou Tiemtore. Burkina Faso’s protest comes amid an escalation in attacks linked to Al Qaeda and the Daesh that has killed thousands and displaced 1.5 million people.
