Armed conflict
Burkina Faso has been beset by armed conflict and terrorist networks operate with impunity targeting public places of gathering, including hotels, restaurants. Foreign embassies and military bases have also come under attack in the past. At least eight people were killed and more than 80 were injured in two coordinated attacks against the French embassy and the country's military headquarters in Ouagadougou in 2018. The International Committee of Red Cross (ICRC) in November said health workers have had to leave troubled regions of the country while many clinics in areas affected by the violence have been shut down.DISCLAIMER: The Views, Comments, Opinions, Contributions and Statements made by Readers and Contributors on this platform do not necessarily represent the views or policy of Multimedia Group Limited.
