The French embassy in Burkina Faso has asked the West African state for more protection after violent protests targeted the property last week, a letter to the government and a diplomatic source said.
In a letter to Burkina Faso's foreign ministry seen by Reuters, the French embassy said Burkina Faso's military police did nothing on Nov. 18 as hundreds of protesters violently attacked the embassy, throwing stones and other projectiles at its walls.
