A recent report by Human Rights Watch has revealed a disturbing incident in Burkina Faso, where military forces allegedly killed 223 civilians, including children and babies, in attacks on two villages suspected of collaborating with militants. The tragic events unfolded on February 25 in the northern villages of Nondin and Soro, with approximately 56 children among the victims.
Human Rights Watch has called on the United Nations and the African Union to support local efforts in investigating and bringing the perpetrators to justice. The organization highlighted that these mass killings are part of a pattern of civilian casualties in the country's counterinsurgency operations.
