Terrorist attacks and massacres
Inter-government conflict
On August 9, 2022, two bombings in Namssiguia , Bam Province , Burkina Faso killed 15 Burkinabe soldiers and injured an unknown number of others.[3]
Background [ edit ]
Throughout the early 2010s, jihadist movements spread widely throughout the Sahel , and reached Burkina Faso in 2015.[4] Since then, the Burkinabe government has struggled to hold back both the Islamist insurgents and the tribal warfare and violence, which has escalated since the war's outbreak.[5] In early 2022, the Burkinabe military under Paul-Henri Damiba overthrew President Roch Kaboré , citing the latter's inability to control the violence as a reason for the coup.[6] However, jihadist attacks continued in Burkina Faso throughout 2022.[7]
Bombing [ edit ]
Prior to the bombing, jihadists had raided a nearby village and killed five civilians and five militiamen.[8] While Burkinabe soldiers were driving in the region, one truck hit a roadside IED , killing several troops. A second explosion went off after another convoy of soldiers arrived on the scene to help the wounded, killing them too.[9]
