150 People Killed In Jihad Massacre In Burkina Faso by BetterHeadline(op): 6:00am On Oct 25, 2024
Islamic terrorists killed at least 150 people, including many Christians, in northeastern Burkina Faso, revealing their increasing brutality and determination to spread terror in a country where insurgents now control over half of the territory.

SOURCE
...a new terrorist attack took place in the town of Manni in the East Region of Burkina Faso. Various local sources told Aid to the Church in Need (ACN) that the death toll exceeded 150. The town is home to a large Catholic community, and many Christians, as well as non-Christians, were killed in the massacre.

The sources told ACN that the terrorists first cut mobile phone networks before attacking the local market, where many people had gathered after Mass. They then opened fire indiscriminately, looted shops and set fire to several buildings, burning some victims alive. The same sources reported that the next day, the perpetrators returned to attack medical staff and kill the many wounded in the city’s hospital. A new incursion took place on Tuesday when the terrorists again invaded the town of Manni, massacring all the men they could find.

Many of the victims were residents from nearby villages who had sought refuge in Manni after being driven out of their homes by terrorists. “The situation is beyond horrific,” one of the local sources told ACN. “But even if the terrorists burned everything, they didn’t burn our faith!”

In a message addressed to priests, consecrated persons and laity, Bishop Pierre Claver Malgo, of the Diocese of Fada N’Gourma, described the attack as “barbaric”, and expressed his “sincere compassion for all the bereaved families” insisting that “any threat to the dignity of man and to his life must touch the very heart of the Church”. The bishop also stressed the importance of not losing heart and keeping hope alive “for a better tomorrow”.

The attack in Manni comes amid a continuing deterioration of the security situation in Burkina Faso, where armed extremist groups have intensified their offensives, targeting both security forces and unarmed civilians. For several years in a row, Burkina Faso has endured the highest level of extremist violence in the entire Sahel region. At the end of August, the country experienced the worst terrorist attack in its history in Barsalogho. Since then, estimates of those who were killed in the attack have risen to a least 400 dead, according to information gathered by the foundation. Burkina Faso now has more than two million displaced people.

Burkina Faso is under MILITARY rule.

The fact that a TERRORIST group had the time, chance and confidence to ATTACK a cluster of communities MULTIPLE times shows that the Burkina Faso Military is as USELESS as the Nigerian Military.

The attack had part 1, part 2 and part 3. The Military did NOTHING.

USELESS!

Be observant. You will never see those who said that they support hamas and Hezbollah on this post. You won't see the because this was what they expected to be done to Israel, but GOD get the antidote to their jihad and madness.

They will come here and blame the government of Burkina Faso, but will never blame their god for boko haram, iswap, and fulani herdsmen atrocities in Nigeria.

Is it today islamic terrorists attack millitary in any part of the world even in advanced countries and Nigeria? Stop bringing your faulty logic to defend Islamic terrorists. After Islamic terrorists strike anywhere, some Muslims will come to defend them through their propagandas while their field Islamic soldier terrorists keep doing the killings. Those Islamic sympathizers, propagandas terrorist and the soldiers of Allah killing in the field are all terrorists. That is why more than half of Muslim population in the world are terrorists. Those that claim Islam is peaceful are also emotional terrorists with degree of violence that can be triggered in different situations.

Idiot, those are Sunni dogs sponsored by CIA/MI6/Mossad.

Those terrorists have been at war with Shiites and have since declared war on Iran, Syria, Hez and Hamas.

Check well and see that foreign power might be behind all these killings, the Burkina Faso current military leaders don't have sense. There should have been a gradual but steady sack of the foreign powers that be, instead the youthful leader full of exuberance with low level IQ not only sacked them but replaced them with their foe and yet expect to enjoy peace in his country.

Common sense is not common indeed, as in how, why won't France and co want to prove the relevance upon their humiliated forceful withdrawal? Imagine a power that has been even before the current coup plotters were born.

Dey play

They are Muslims abi?

So we Christians should support Muslims against Israel abi? Even with the quest by una through boko haram to declare sharia all over Nigeria, we Christians should still support una against Jews bah?

Despite Deborah, una want make we support una. Despite all una atrocities in the name of religion, una want make we support una against Israel? We wey una go look for to kill first if someone in far away Europe insults una religion.

Make una allow a Christian from the north to be Nigerian president first.

Dey play

Gone are those where Nigeria government would have mobilized ECOMOG to maintain peace and stability. The military pursued French army and declared loyalty to Russia. I am still waiting for country that is even looking for whom to wear army boot against Ukraine to respond to Islamic insurgents in Burkina Fasso.
